Yeah, I always wondered how to do it nicely.  I have signed commits turned on,
but if I take a commit that is even verified by github, (and looks great with
`git show --show-signature`), I have no way how to send them using send-email so
that the signing is preserved.  Would be nice to know if there's a way.
