Actually, ("talking" to myself?), parsing this file a bit more, I find many (~134) that are missing "Sign-offs".
I take it that "Sign-off"s are also "optional" on commits and represent that the author specified under the "commit" tag did not need a "Sign-off"?
Just trying to see if I can parse large changelogs into groups that might be easier digest and summarize...
