Not sure if this has been covered in some of the rather long chains of
late, but I was thinking about GPG signing, and how the proposed
workflow requires every developer to sign their commits.  Currently,
it's advised that every manifest be signed.  As far as I know, there
are a number that are not.  When a manifest is signed, the author is
saving a state, and providing a means to check it has not changed.

Additionally, I feel that a signature is a means of acknowledging that
a package has been looked over, and that developer has stated that
they approve of the existing state.  I'm not sure if others agree with
that sentiment, but if anyone does, my question is, how does the
conversion process to git handle these packages, where the manifests
are not signed.  Is there an intention to blanket cover all packages
when we switch to git?  Will these packages be copied over directly
and still maintain their unsigned manifest (I think this is unlikely
as I read that there would be a switch to thin manifests, requiring
regeneration)? If the community doesn't view the signature of the
manifest as I just described, then a blanket signing would be fine.

Would appreciate your thoughts either way, as I could be overthinking
the issue :P
