So I think that logic should basically be extended to saying
- if any line in the last chunk has a "Signed-off-by:", set a flag.
- at the end of the loop, if that flag wasn't set, return 0.
I am reluctant to special case S-o-b: too much, even though this is
about "am -s" and by definition S-o-b: is special, as that is what
we are adding after all.
How about a bit looser rule like this?
A block of text at the end of the message, each and every
line in which must match "^[^: ]+:[ ]" (that is,
a "keyword" that does not contain a whitespace nor a colon,
followed by a colon and whitespace, and arbitrary value thru
the end of line) is a signature block.
