I agree that a general purpose "signing" would be cleaner. The GPG 
kewords are scattered all over the codebase but all the paths i found 
just call the generic sign_buffer / verify_signed_buffer from 
gpg-interface.c in the end whose api works quite well for other signing 
mechanisms as well. I will rename some struct fields to be more generic 
and adjust a few messages printed to the user which currently say things 
like "gpg failed to sign the data" or "has a gpg signature" to be 
generic. Do we just want to call this "signature" and remove the gpg 
prefix or would that be too generic?

Refactoring the whole gpg part to a generic "signing" would be quite 
involved and should probably be a different patch even though its mostly 
renaming stuff.
If we want to go into that direction i could add the new config keys 
under signing.* (signing.format = ssh|gpg, ...) and keep the 
compatibility for the older gpg.* keys.
