Why do we need a new rule? The old git-am had a logic that pleased
everyone, and it must have been implemented somewhere. Shouldn't it be
sufficient to just re-implement or re-use that logic?

Perhaps we would need to tell has_conforming_footer() function who
the caller is, and use a different logic (i.e. "just re-implement")
when the caller is append_signoff().

Ah, I think I misunderstood you.  "just re-implement" could be "not
to use the existing helper used by other callers and instead do it
manually all inside builtin/am.c", and I agree that it would be the
safest way to go.
