So, this may already be asked and answered (apologies if it has), but is it worth gpg-signing submissions so that authenticity can be verified to some degree when a patch is posted (and for archival purposes)? I ask because this is whats done on the fedora extras channel when updates get pushed, and it seems like a reasonable addition to the process.
