Stack rebase needs GPG signing support to be truly usable

[aleksei-averchenko-wise]

Right now, GitHub's rebase button results in the rewritten commits having no GPG signatures, which makes it inconvenient to use. Please consider adding commit signing support via GitHub

This behavior is noted in the documentation, so I assume it is intentional at the moment.

However, I think commit signing in server-side rebasing is a must. I've been using stacked PRs with other tools such as Graphite for a while, and server-side rebasing was able to properly sign the commits by using a key configured in their settings. I'm missing that in GitHub's native stacks.

We have released an update that will now create signed commits as part of stack rebases. The rebased commits will have a GitHub bot user as a committer while maintaining the original author. This affects both the "Rebase Stack" button in the merge box as well as the automated rebase that occurs after a partial merge of a stack.
