I assume you hit this on the branch I pushed out earlier today, which
started fresh from 7.3 with just a single merge. I've amended that
commit with an S-o-b now, but I'm not sure if that is what you are
asking.

When you write "and also isn't showing up as a merge", do you mean
your script has an exception for merge commits to not need S-o-b
but fails to detect this one as a merge? I see that about half the
merges in linux-next (including your daily merges) are not signed off,
so I'm not sure if we are all doing this wrong the same way, or if
there is a different problem with the soc tree.
