I ran into a related issue recently when thinking about how to implement server-side workflows (for a non-kernel project). My goal is to ensure a patch can only be pushed to the master branch if it has received review. The easy way to do so it to check the Reviewed-by tags, but those can easily be forged. I was thus wondering if we should have a way to sign tags (as in commit message tags, not git tags). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
