Could you wrap this overly long line?
	if (buffer < buffer_end && 
	    (skip_prefix(buffer, "gpgsig ", &buffer) ||
	     skip_prefix(buffer, "gpgsig-sha256 ", &buffer))) {

Do we allow a tag object with both "gpgsig" and "gpgsig-sha256" or detect as an error? I think the most natural way to extend this system in the future with a third hash function would be to still have the primary hash in the payload and signatures created with other compatibility hash functions on the header, so if we were to detect, the rule may be "gpgsig* in the headers ought to be unique and should not include the primary hash algorithm" plus "if you have gpgsig* in the header, the body must also have inline signature, and if you don't, the body must not", perhaps?
