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. 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.
