I'd like to see the ability to run such tests. And following SA
practices, each would be a test with its own score, and we each could
score them according to our own needs and experiences.

* PGPSIG_KNOWN_KEY -- valid signature, known key -- negative score
* PGPSIG_UNKNOWN_KEY -- valid signature, unknown key -- slight
positive
  or negative, according to our needs.
* PGPSIG_INVALID_KNOWN -- invalid signature, but known key -- likely
  an email client problem.
* PGPSIG_INVALID_UNKNOWN -- invalid signature and unknown key --
  probably worth a positive score.
