However, the DCO text is meant to be referenced in the section. Furthermore, in HTML and PDF docs, paragraphs following the DCO: then you just add a line saying: Signed-off-by: [...] [...] as it was propagated to the maintainers and ultimately to Linus, with the first SoB entry signalling primary authorship of a single author. appear to belong to the DCO, rather than to "Sign your work - ..." where it should. In reST (and other documentation tools), once you start a subsection under a section, there is no way to go back to the section. Fix the section structure by making the DCO a literal block, with indent changes made in commit 5903019b2a5e reverted. While at it, fix the same issue at "Reviewer's statement of oversight".
