That would be wonderful.

I don't have a strong opinion on the actual icon, i.e. I will take whatever the community comes up with and the project team likes. :)
However, for the decoration we need to consider that a decoration might have to represent more than one state (eg., signed commit, signed by trusted/known key, invalid signed commit, etc.). None of this exists yet. Just things to consider.
