Good to hear. And DKIM signing also helps with patch attestation, so it's a
win-win if more people start doing it. :) We check DKIM signatures with b4, so
hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to add something to patchwork that would
show whether the DKIM verification passes. Or this could be an external CI
check, I guess.

Anyway, everyone should DKIM-sign their mail!
