If you've seen the PGP/GPG code you'll know what a trash fire it is, and if you follow its development you'll see how unfriendly the maintainers are when bugs are pointed out.

Adding dependencies on PGP just makes everything worse.

X.509 PKI for code signing is also terrible and very very complicated and error prone.

Also consider the community nature of development. You need to handle all sorts of painful crypto issues now.
