@ -458,6 +458,17 @@ Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s`
flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your
`user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
### Private Sign off
If you would like to provide your legal name privately to the Matrix.org
Foundation (instead of in a public commit or comment), you can do so
by emailing your legal name and a link to the pull request to
[dco@matrix.org](mailto:dco@matrix.org?subject=Private%20sign%20off).
It helps to include "sign off" or similar in the subject line. You will then
be instructed further.
Once private sign off is complete, doing so for future contributions will not
be required.
