That's not entirely correct. The signed-off trailer is used as the boundary
indicating who was the person responsible for collecting the trailers. When
the trailers are collected by the original author as part of their iteration
cycles, their signed-off-by trailer goes below any trailers they have
received.

When the trailers are collected by the maintainer, any trailers they retrieve
will go below the original author's S-o-b, but above their own.

That is the correct behaviour.
