The sender's Signed-off-by is missing.

Basically I've started considering all of these patches as static
analyzer reports *only*. The "fixes" have often been completely wrong or
have missed the real issue and merely silenced the warning.

I really couldn't say anything about the "Zeal Robot" itself, but the
patches are giving it a bad reputation.
