A news item file's content will consist of an RFC 822 style header [#rfc-822]_
followed by the main body of the message as plain text. This GLEP defines
various optional and mandatory headers. Future GLEPs may propose new headers —
tools handling these news items must ignore any unrecognised header.
+.. Note:: A previous version of this GLEP had required that news items must
+ be signed with a detached OpenPGP signature. This was no longer deemed
+ necessary after moving news items to a Git repository with commit signing,
+ and deployment of full-tree verification per GLEP 74 [#glep-74]_.
