If you do this, why not do it for all signature types?

our $Valid_Signatures "(?:Signed-off-by:|Reviewed-by:|Acked-by:)"

if ($line =~ /^(\s*)($ValidSignatures)(\s*)(.*)$/i) {
my $space_before = $1;
my $sign_off = $2;
my $space_after = $3;
my $email = $4;
if (defined $space_before && $space_before ne "") {
warning (no space before...)
}
if ($sign_off !~ /$Valid_Signature/) {
warning (signature case...)
}
if (!defined $space_after || $space_after ne " ") {
warning (need only one space after colon...)
}
if (!validate_email($4)) {
warning (bad email...)
