Yes, spamassassin is infinitely configurable, and you can assign either
"negative" or "positive" points to PGP sigs.  You could also add a
filter for the specific sig that is being used and reused and assign it
enough points to can the spam based on that alone.  Or, as you ask, you
could just have sa ignore PGP sigs entirely.  Your choice.

Sounds good for you. 
Sounds lame if you have to filter spam for a hundred people. 
Back on topic, can't you override SpamAssassin and tell it to ignore PGP
sigs when computing the spam probability?
