As a side-thread to the PECL packaging discussion. There is the option in 'pear' to use gpg to sign package releases, but one thing we do not have is a PEAR web of trust for the keys. Usually people will sing other people's keys in 'Key signing parties' to generate that web of trust (http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html). It will not be trivial to get all keys signed and in a PEAR 'web of trust', as usually the mutual signings are supposed to happen on a face to face meeting of the people doing the signing. Ideas?
