I do. I sign my e-mails as a guarantee to my
recipients that what you get is truly from
me. That plus my mail client makes that-- signing
emails-- way easy to do. I also sign all my
commits, even on the major platforms. FWIW, even
on GH, and GL, you could sign your emails when
replying to an email, thereby having the
recipients on the Cc see your pgp/ gpg signature,
while GL/ GH scrapes it off when displaying it's
contents. However, there are people who sign email
inline. Here's one such example:

PS: If you use gnus from Emacs, you should read:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/message/Signing-and-encryption.html#Signing-and-encryption
In my Emacs, I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-package mm-encode
  :config (setq mm-encrypt-option 'guided) (setq
  mm-sign-option 'guided))

(use-package mml-sec
  :config (setq mml-secure-openpgp-encrypt-to-self
  t) (setq mml-secure-openpgp-sign-with-sender t)
  (setq mml-secure-smime-encrypt-to-self t) (setq
  mml-secure-smime-sign-with-sender t))

(use-package epa-file
  :config (setq
  epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption
  nil))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
