This makes sense, but isn't exactly an item that anyone else has been
begging for. Does it matter which developer signs it? Does it need to be
the same one every time? If yes, then we don't have that infrastructure
available at the moment and I don't see how to build it given the
looseness of our organization. If no, then why not just sign it yourself.
I guess I just fail to see the point of self signing.

I'll believe that when I see it.
