The structure and nature of the WKD mechanism is entirely up for
discussion, along with everything else in this README.
+Automating developer attestation
+--------------------------------
+The easiest way to automate developer attestation is by providing a
+sendmail-compatible "attest-and-send" utility that can be a drop-in
+command settable via git's sendemail.smtpServer command. It would
+be automatically invoked whenever git-send-email runs and would inject
+the X-Patch-Hashes and X-Patch-Sig headers before sending the emails to
+the SMTP server specified via the rest of the sendemail configuration
+options.
+
+In addition to creating these headers, this tool can also automatically
+add all emails going through it to the developer's personal public-inbox
+archive that can act as a separate source of patch data in addition to
+mail delivered via the regular means.
+
Public keys bundled with git repos
----------------------------------
TBA.
