That would be great -- upstreams are using other mechanisms to sign
their releases today, like Sigsum, Sigstore, gitsign S/MIME etc, and I
don't think there is any reason why 'uscan' shouldn't support all of
them.

This reminds me about the 'apt-get install minisign' package naming
concern that we tried to flesh out a migration policy for earlier.  I
think I ultimately got lost trying to work out the migration flow for
how to achieve that...
