It kind of is, if you want to do it properly. I have some scripts (available at https://github.com/saab-simc-admin/workflow-tools) for maintaining an all-signed workflow, and the amount of corner cases and badly designed interfaces I have to handle is staggering.

Not to mention the fact that since nobody uses signatures, the code isn't tested - libgit2 (which is, among other things, the base for Ruby's Git support) used to corrupt the plaintext of signed commits due to a use-after-free bug.
