Although CAcert isn't included in many major browsers and mail clients,
I think this sounds like a good thing to do, and I'll follow-up as soon
as I have details.

...and I forgot the most important thing to mention: Why we should do so. ;-)

Although it is not enforced, it might make sense to have meeting minutes and official BoD decisions signed in the future, to ensure they are valid, and everyone can verify. For that, it would be desirable for every BoD and MC member + deputy to have their own certificate.

The reason for using S/MIME (X.509) rather than GPG is that

1. LibreOffice can sign ODT with X.509 certificates
2. PDFs can be signed using them as well
3. most mail clients support them out of the box
