The point of the signoff is not that you can build the package, but that 
the package provided in the repositories is working. If you can build 
the package, you still won't know if (for example) one of the 
executables inside the binary package is corrupted. Other than that, 
your tests are sufficient.

Indeed they can't, you can always reply on arch-general if you feel the 
need to comment on a developer discussion.
