Mmm, that seems to have been clarified indeed. In the past I had mostly
understood

The Signed-off-by: tag indicates that the signer was involved in the
development of the patch, or that he/she was in the patch's delivery path.

And my signed-off-by was mostly to express that I have completely
checked the patch and give my formal approval on it for inclusion. My
former acked-by, as expressed: in SubmittingPatches: “is not as
formal as Signed-off-by:.  It is a record that the acker has at least
reviewed the patch and has indicated acceptance. [...] Acked-by: does
not necessarily indicate acknowledgement of the entire patch.”, i.e. it
looked good to me without giving so formal approval.

Now that it's clearly stated in SubmittingPatches, I sure agree.
