Since the start of the project we used Signed-off-by to signal that a patch had been edited.

I'd like to point out that you might have had this interpretation of it and used it in this way, but it hasn't been a written project wide rule that this is the intended interpretation in this context. I've used it as a general "I approve of"-mark.

Currently git (and github/gitlab) has support for `Co-authored-by:`.

It isn't as nice as `Signed-off-by:` since there isn't a easy shorthand such as `-s` that I know, but possibly could be nice to use.

That sounds like a much better thing to use, especially as Signed-off-by has different interpretations in different projects.
