Hi Ashish,
First, please do me a favor and go back and re-read:
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
I recommend that everyone do this every once in a while so they remember
what they are constantly signing off on. It's important.
My personal rule for SoB lines is that I don't add them unless I've
explicitly talked to the person. Even then, I vastly prefer that the
person provides it to me *explicitly* (so I just copy and paste
directly) and on a public mailing list. That way, the avenues for
accidents to occur are very narrow.
