It's an interesting idea to have Pulp apply it, but in the case of 
copied RPMs, it actually doesn't apply.

Pulp stores each RPM only a single time to conserve space. So in the 
case of copying an RPM, it's simply making a new database reference from 
the RPM to the destination repo. The RPM itself doesn't change, so if it 
was signed previously, it's still signed. If the copy process were to do 
the signing, it would change the original RPM in the process.
