Hello,

assume I provide a patch for memory leak and do not `git -s` it.  Do I
own the fix and have the copyright on it, so that nobody else can steal
the patch, as long as I do not provide a DCO?

https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3374 from February 2021
provides code changes from me, it was not merged.

https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/pull/3598 from August 2021
provides absolutely the same code changes, and fixes one more problem
at the same time.

Who owns the code changes?  The one who published them first, or the
one who committed them?  Can I squeeze now somebody, for using my code,
without my explicit agreement?  

How does the DCO help here?  In fact DCO does raise for this case
questions, which problems would not have existed, if the DCO concept
has not existed.

Greetings
  Дилян
