Well, we need to agree ourselves on what we want first. That's what is
happening now. Before the procedure and the text are not finalized, nobody can
even start requesting agreement e.g. from employers.
Then, once that is completed, people can take whatever steps necessary.
And later, at some point, we can make the Signed-Off-By mandatory.
So no need to make anyone panic that the flood is coming right now. (It's
gonna come, but you'll have time to build an ark. Or vehemently argue that
water doesn't exist.)
That said, I'm not sure if you have understood the principle of the DCO
correctly. In my personal interpretation (yes IANAL),
*If* your employer explicitly allows you to contribute to Gentoo, say, under
the GPL2, then nothing keeps you from adding the Signed-Off-By header with
git. (*) With the header you certify via the DCO that you are legally able to
contribute the code under the GPL, which is precisely what your employer
allowed you to do.
(*) for both Kernel and Gentoo DCO
