In my eyes, a signature carries a certain value. By signing, I warrant a certain quality about the signed content. That's why I sign release tags, and some of my emails. But when it comes to commits, I don't warrant for anything. Some commits are good, some break things, some are bad attempts to fix something, etc. Also, since I'm mostly the only developer, there's no review on commits. In other words, unlike releases, there is no quality assurance on commits. Therefore, you'll never be able to convince me to sign commits. Patrick
