Maybe also something in format-patch to check that the commit has one? I, at least, tend to have unsigned commits for tracking stuff I've done but not cleaned up and signed ones that I want to send off as patches. I've confused the branches on occasion, although never when sending stuff, and it would be nice to have format-patch tell you if the commit didn't look right.
