Of course, you should not really rebase a published tree at all (unless
vitally necessary) - see Documentation/maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.rst  

Heh.  That ship has sailed, unfortunately.  If we /really/ care about
maintainers adding their own SoB tags to non-merge commits then I /have/
to rebase.

We do *not* care about maintainers adding their own SOB to non-merge
commits that are in a branch that are all committed by someone else.
As you say, that is not possible without rewriting the whole branch.
