So perhaps somewhat ironically, the crypto tree is now the first tree
I'm merging in this merge window that doesn't have a signed tag.

I don't require signed tags for kernel.org pulls, but I really do
heavily prefer them, and they aren't that hard to do.

I'm sure there are several other non-signed pull requests waiting in
the queue, but still, your pull request stands out as being the first
one - out of 27 so far - that didn't have it.

Can I prod you in the direction of making signed tags a part of your
workflow? The tag can contain the details of the pull - in which case
git request-pull will populate the pull request with it - or it can be
just some dummy message and you write the details separately in the
pull request email like you do now.

I know you have a pgp key, because I have one in my keyring from you
going all the way back to 2011. And if you have lost sight of that one
and need to create a new one, that still better going forward than not
signing your pull requests at all..
