Note that with this, you *can* also keep the ability for someone to
push commits that they are not the author or committer for. This is
actually added flexibility - you can merge from a 3rd party tree, and
push it to the central repo, as long as you GPG-sign the list
including those commits.

I highlight "can" because the wrapper on the developer side and the
script on the server side can prevent this, or force extra steps in
such case.
