I thought the text is pretty clear.  As already mentioned,

   https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal

gives you the options.  One of these options is:

"Alternatively, a contributor can certify the Developer Certificate of
Origin for their contribution by adding the Signed-off-by: tag to their
submission."

If you opt for this variant,

   https://gcc.gnu.org/dco.html

tells you everything.  Basically (but please read yourself):

"The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
pass it on as a free software patch. ..."

[...]

"then you just add a line saying:

     Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>

using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) ..."

I think this would be sufficient.
