[Catalog-sig] [DRAFT] Proposal for fixing PyPI/pip security

[Giovanni Bajo]

Hello,

my proposal for fixing PyPI and pip security is here:
https://docs.google.com/a/develer.com/document/d/1DgQdDCZY5LiTY5mvfxVVE4MTWiaqIGccK3QCUI8np4k/edit#

I tried to sum up the discussions we had here last week, elaborating on Heimes' proposal by simplifying it where I thought the additional steps wouldn't guarantee additional security. At this point, the proposal does not include a central, uber-master online GPG signing key to be stored on PyPI, which is IMO quite hard to handle correctly.

Comments are welcome!
