Not at this stage. This would be relatively simple to do based on the work I 
did for Maven some time back, if we decide on the rules around it. You could 
use a pre-loaded keyring, or you could add servers to retrieve keys from 
automatically. Once you have a loaded keyring, it's quite straightforward to 
hook into that mechanism.

If you're interested in some help to implement it, let's discuss on dev@ :)

I think they were for generating missing ones, like the checksums. It's not 
implemented (and a bit shortsighted, since you don't typically have a key on 
the server to do so). The module should really be removed.
