GHNS already supports gpg signing items.

that still isn't enough, however, as we also will want this for remote widget 
support as well.

it also needs to support the idea of "web of trust", where we have officially 
accepted keys which can grant other keys "more trust" without the user 
themself having blessed them so.

but yes, this would be a very nice project to have.
