How does this interact with the logic to avoid appending the same
Signed-off-by: line as the last one the incoming message already
has?

How does that "a" in [am "a"] work?  If it defines some kind of
scope (i.e. use am.a.* instead of am.* when I specify I am using "a"
set somehow), that might be something interesting, but if it applies
only to sign-off and other things, then I am not sure if I like it,
as that would invite confusions from end users.

Is this a shell array?  It won't fly in our codebase if that is the
case.
