It's like how you have to type a whole word into a box to delete a repo on github.

  That's really just a defense against deleting the wrong repo. If you're typing in the whole repo name, including the account it's under, you're very likely to know which repo you are deleting when you hit the button. (Consider the horror scenario where you both own an org repo and have a personal fork, and you mean to delete your personal fork but delete the main repo instead.)

    Signing something, in the same way, is a defense against someone claiming that they really didn't mean it.
