Sounds reasonable given the current state of git. Let's just be clear about 
the following consequence (I hope I understand this correctly):

* User makes signed improvements in gentoo-x86 clone
* Developer pulls from user and >merges<
* Developer's history contains commits by user, which cannot be pushed to 
gentoo-x86

Which means in the end "all merges are explicitly allowed, as long as they 
only contain developer commits; commits pulled from users must be rebased".

This is something that (IMHO) we could certainly live with; the only thing I 
am worried about is, how do we automatize it so a developer who is not end-of-
the-line git guru and ends up with some user-signed commits in his history can 
clean up his local tree again.
