If we are willing to have packages being signed, just mean they were built 
with koji, we could have a tool that could doing the signing so that 
packages could move from pending to testing or updates without human 
intervention and with the same key being used for all koji (non-scratch) 
builds, hard links could be used to save space on the mirrors for packages 
that appear in multiple repos.
