app Adding a link to DCO text or bot to comment the plain text of DCO

Because newcomers may not be so familiar with all the things. I can't find any way to find the DCO text. I know what DCO stands for and what is that bot, but someone may not know that, so... it makes friction.

Best would be the bot to comment on the text on failure. Or at least link to always available, for some reason currently I cannot load the https://developercertificate.org/ but it seems up.

https://developercertificate.org/ works fine for me. PRs welcome to edit the text in the checks DCO creates.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

yup, for the sake of a better experience of newcomers/beginners vs skilled ones that want to enable DCO.

Allow customization on the comment text would be awesome.

Can we help with sending a PR?

hey I've started to help out maintaining DCO. Would you like to send a PR? I promise I won't let it get stale

Hi @gr2m,

Meanwhile, we have chosen another solution. :slightly_frowning_face: It's just a simple auto comment to tell people we use DCO.

@gr2m just seen that notification. Cool. I may send some PR in the coming weeks.

This is a much more important issue than you guys are giving it credit! Currently there's no legal binding between --signoff and the DCO!! Requiring people to pass that --signoff flag currently is about as productive as putting a single "1" or "true" variable into a database with absolutely no meaning given to it. I'm sure you put lots of effort into making this bot function........ but without that legal binding it's all for nothing. I submitted a PR #165 as an attempt to create that legal binding, but so far it's just getting ignored. What gives?

Also: I Am Not Lawyer. The "legally binding" text should probably be reviewed by one.
