I tend to agree here - people specifically ask about being able to
contribute via Github because it allegedly makes contributions easier.

My experience has shown that a lot of contributors already struggle with
the concept of sign-off lines. Require them to PGP sign stuff would
pretty much kill any effort in this direction right away.
