I *really* want people who use public hosting to tag their pull
request with a signed tag (and using a gpg key I can see signed by
people). I realize that getting a key signed can sometimes be
problematic depending on geography etc, and I don't know where you are
based.

For something like unicore32, I could be convinced to even accept a
key that isn't signed by people I recognize - even if it doesn't
necessarily show identity, it does show that the person who keeps
asking me to pull controls the same key over time. Not a very strong
guarantee, but it is at least a potential for identity.
