I think, as discussed in the other thread, perhaps a different prefix
for these options is in order if we'd like to plan for the future.
Maybe this could be "signature.format", "sign.format", "signing.format",
or "signingtool.format" (I tend to prefer the former, but not too
strongly).

I anticipate that some projects will prefer other formats, and it makes
it easier if we don't have to maintain two sets of legacy names.

Heh. This is slowly morphing into the original signingtool series.

For the record (since I think my response is what you meant by the
"other thread"), I'm OK with going down this gpg.* road for now, and
dealing with other tools if and when they appear (via the extra level of
indirection).
