If I start signing all my future commits to Emacs packages outside of Emacs & ELPA with a key that FSF knows about, then won't that mean there won't be a problem with these commits when/if the corresponding packages consider moving into ELPA? >>> We are talking about the situation where all >>> you have is a commit made by someone in a Git repository other than >>> that of Emacs. >> >> I don't understand this part.

Part of the answer to "Why are so many packages not trying to get included in GNU Emacs?" is that, at least for me, I have no idea how to track whether people have assignments on file, so I don't put my packages in ELPA. If there was an easy way to check, I would.
