This is a mailing list related to computer security software; I would prefer to
have release announcements and any patches to code PGP/GnuPG signed.

I would prefer to not see PGP used with every message, myself, but I've been on
lists and seen malicious people forging email from regular posters every once in
a while, so some people have fallen back to using PGP or S/MIME signing for
everything they write for good reason.

[ Just like I verify the MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 checksums of the source tarballs I
use to build ClamAV, amavisd, and so forth. ]

unless something novel appears. (Focus! Stay on target... :-)
