Hmm, happy to add PGP keys (optionally), but it doesn't really replace an
email address for me. E.g. I don't have PGP keys on all the machines I work
on. It's just not worth the trouble syncing that for the few times a year I
use a PGP key. How about adding both, optionally?

If yes, then it would be nice to collect those in a single PR to limit the
churn to the governance doc files.

Cheers,
Ralf
