I think the consensus on the list in the past was that for adding future tools, we'd like the drivers to be configuration-based so that Git need not learn about every signing tool. I think such a change would be welcome if done right. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
