I think even that could be further simplified - by just removing all
comments about pgp email
Because it's not that the PGP keys would be hard to get, it's that
PGP-signed email is an abject failure, and nobody sane does it.
Google for "phil zimmerman doesn't use pgp email".
It's dead. So I'm not sure it's worth mentioning at all.
You might as well talk about how you shouldn't use EBCDIC encoding for
your patches, or about why git assumes that an email address has an
'@' sign in it, instead of being an UUCP bang path address.
