I think this needs to be fixed before we start asking people to bother
maintainers. We need to find out why your e-mails are being ignored -
should they contain more information about why to use gpg, how to use
gpg, or perhaps they are too big, and people are skimming them and not
spotting the important bits.

Could you post a sample e-mail here? Perhaps a bit of peer review will
result in a template e-mail that maintainers are more likely to listen
to.

I think this should wait until you have got some positive feed back
from a few maintainers.
