Not that I'm aware of. The only common use of GPG is for signing tags
associated with pull requests.  eg when you do  git publish --pull,
it will create a signed tag for that pull request. We don't use the
submaintainer model though so that's not really relevant to us.

Stefan takes features requests / patches on github/stefanha/git-publish
though :-)

Daniel
