Nobody at PyPI is opposed to package signing, and removing or minimizing the damage that compromised infrastructure can do.

However, GPG is not a good tool to build those features on top of, and the vestigial support for GPG signing that PyPI had in no way aided the long term efforts to get proper, secure package signing into PyPI.
