Hi Eric,
thanks for the report.
gpg-sign-args is meant for additional commands to pass to gpg after
"sign". Unfortunately, the caff manpage doesn't say this - it's in
/usr/share/doc/signing-party/caff/README.many-keys:
$CONFIG{'gpg-sign-args'} = "save";
This automatically saves the key after signing in gpg. The advantage is that
you do not have to type "save" for each key. The disadvantage is that you
cannot choose which UIDs to sign by answering "no" at the "Really sign?"
prompt any more; you will have *not* to send out some mails. (And you have
unwanted signatures lingering around in ~/.caff/gnupghome/pubring.gpg.)
Additional gpg options should be placed in .caff/gnupghome/gpg.conf.
Still, some way to pass the options from caff could be useful, I'll
retitle the bug accordingly.

I think there was some rationale for that. Peter?
