Note that this can be problematic as well - there's probably a lot of tools out there
that will be less than gracious when presented with a GPG-signed text with non-signed
trailing text.  Maybe GPG-sign from "pull request" to "diffstat" and make the diff an
attachment? (That would also allow attaching a gzip'ed diff, which would save vger's
bandwidth :)
