OK, we're using GPG as you described.
Now, since everyone but Xue Fuqiao has told me that tying package.el to
the DVCS is a bad idea, we need to decide how these signatures will be
stored in the ELPA, and how they can fit into the existing ELPA
structure. Nic Ferrier's proposal of a "key package" seems workable;
that package can be signed with the GNU ELPA maintainer's public key to
bootstrap the rest of the process.
I asked Tom Tromey and Phil Hagelberg for suggestions but haven't heard
back yet. I'd like to get their take and yours before jumping to the
coding stage.
Ted
