There is no requirement for gpg (except for maintainers submitting pull requests). When we say "We need a signed-off-by" what we mean is literally "your commit message must include a line of the form Signed-off-by Some Person <some.per...@wherever.com>". I agree that gpg is terrible as a UI and we definitely don't want it in our patch workflow for submitters ;-) thanks -- PMM
