I actually got these definitions and usages from idioms.thefreedictionary.com

As I hope you all would agree, I would sign this either DOESN'T-MATTER or UNIMPORTANT.

The first I found at "signingsavvy.com"

The second is the sign for IMPORTANT, then let go of the "F" handshape as if dropping whatever was important. I can't find it in the online dictionaries.

Yet another project for me eh?
