I just updated http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches with instructions on how to include the Signed-off-by line. I will update the GitWine page soon. Please feel free to improve the wiki further.

In the SubmittingPatches page, you say one should sign-off one's own patches. Isn't that rather redundant when you are the author?
Not redundant at all. The author signing-off just signals that the patch is ready for upstream and that the author takes responsibility for it. Without a sign-off it might be just a hack or a RFC or what not.
I believe Signed-off is for patch reviewers, not main authors.
It is for both author(s) and reviewers.
