% Query: why do people pgp-sign mail to mailing lists?

Why not?  You put your home page in your signature, for instance; you
have a mailing address that you list that is suitable for replies.

It is my not-so-humble opinion that everyone everywhere should be signing
and encrypting all of the time, except as required (don't sign if you want
to be anonymous or don't encrypt if the message is for mass distribution --
you get the idea).  Everything I can do to encourage such behavior and
raise everyone's awareness is thus a good thing.  Since I don't often
have to post anonymously (though I generally don't have a problem with
those who do), I can sign everything.

Here, of all places, it should be no biggie; mutt can handle GPG/PGP with
ease, and procmail/formail could strip out the signature entirely, and
this is the group that would know how to do it.
