This is an incomplete work in progress, but currently includes a pre-push hook
script (`pre-push-hook.sh`) for maintainers to ensure that their own commits
are PGP signed (nearly always merge commits), as well as a script to verify
are PGP signed (nearly always merge commits), as well as a Python 3 script to verify
commits against a trusted keys list.

prior to checkout to make sure you're checking out only code signed by trusted
keys:
git fetch origin && \
./contrib/verify-commits/verify-commits.py origin/master && \
git checkout origin/master
```sh
git fetch origin && \
./contrib/verify-commits/verify-commits.py origin/master && \
git checkout origin/master
```
Note that the above isn't a good UI/UX yet, and needs significant improvements
to make it more convenient and reduce the chance of errors; pull-reqs

* `trusted-keys`: This file should contain a \n-delimited list of all PGP fingerprints of authorized commit signers (primary, not subkeys).
* `allow-revsig-commits`: This file should contain a \n-delimited list of git commit hashes. See next section for more info.
Import trusted keys
-------------------
In order to check the commit signatures you must add the trusted PGP keys to your machine. This can be done in Linux by running
```sh
gpg --recv-keys $(<contrib/verify-commits/trusted-keys)
```
