Linux Kernel supports end-to-end attested patches (including using PGP), but the implementation took a slightly different direction, because there are important downsides to PGP-signed messages when it comes to patch workflows.

See the following project: https://pypi.org/project/patatt/

There is a section on that page that describes why PGP-signed patches aren't the preferred way to go for many people.

Best regards, Konstantin
