My From name and Signed-off name matches. But my emails donot match.
Which is fine - unless you are submitting patches to Mark 8). I also usually split my email address and GregKH doesn't seem to mind at all.
I usually end up applying but I don't like having to think about it and normally only for people I recognise both addresses and all the names for - there's a lot of places that can fall over. I've noticed an increase in the number of people missing out signoffs recently for some reason so anything that looks like a non-author message is a red flag.
The other option I suppose would be to put both addresses in the signed off by sequence, but that probably causes confusion
The other option is to just not use the work address if you don't want to use it (that's what I do).
