Small tweaks to the Maintainer PGP guide:
- Use --quick-addkey command that is compatible between GnuPG-2.2 and
GnuPG-2.1 (which many people still have)
- Add a note about the Nitrokey program
- Warn that some devices can't change the passphrase before there are
keys on the card (specifically, Nitrokeys)
- Link to the GnuPG wiki page about gpg-agent forwarding over ssh
- Tell git to use gpgv2 instead of legacy gpgv when verifying signed
tags or commits

Based on the feedback provided:
- Uniformly use lowercase k in "Linux kernel"
- Give a one-sentence explanation of what subkeys are
- Explain what signed commits might be useful for even if upstream
developers do not use them for much of anything
- Admonish to set up gpg-agent if signed commits are turned on in
git config
- Fix a typo reported by Luc Van Oostenryck

This guide is an adapted version of the more general "Protecting Code
Integrity" guide written and maintained by The Linux Foundation IT for
use with open-source projects. It provides the oft-lacking guidance on
the following topics:
- how to properly protect one's PGP keys to minimize the risks of them
being stolen and used maliciously to impersonate a kernel developer
- how to configure Git to properly use GnuPG
- when and how to use PGP with Git
- how to verify fellow Linux Kernel developer identities
I believe this document should live with the rest of the documentation
describing proper processes one should follow when participating in
kernel development. Placing it in a wiki on some place like kernel.org
would be insufficient for a number of reasons -- primarily, because only
a relatively small subset of maintainers have accounts on kernel.org,
but also because even those who do rarely remember that such wiki
exists. Keeping it with the rest of in-kernel docs should hopefully give
it more visibility, but also help keep it up-to-date as tools and
processes evolve.
