I've started to do a little bit of work on Module::Signature.
The main problem seemed to be that it will install even if it's
configuration cannot be confirmed, when I think it might be preferable
to not install at all if it cannot be confirmed.
I've also move Module::Signature into the Module::Install repository
(which seems to be fast becoming an orphanage for collaboratively
maintaining installation toolchain modules without a strongly active
author).
So if anyone already has commit for Module::Install and can think of
small improvemens to make, you should be able to help fix Module::Signature.

Hi all,
In http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17934, a Test::MockObject user
dislikes the t/0-signature.t test that always runs. If the user does not
have Module::Signature installed, no tests run. If the user does have
Module::Signature installed but not configured properly, the test will fail.
The problem with these is that Module::Signature fails when it
should warn if the key is not present in the user's keyring.
If this technical issue is solved then regardless of whether or not
signature tests are useless (i think they are, but then again i also
think i have some modules with Test::Distribution that checks
that... so I am a hypocrit ;-) the usability of these tests will be
good enough.
(I'm CCing audrey so that she'll know I'm dissing her module ;-)
