Description : SSH wrapper that dynamically forwards the gpg-agent sockets
sshwgpg (SSH With GnuPG) is a small bash wrapper around ssh(1) that
dynamically forwards the gpg-agent sockets (gpg + ssh) to the remote
server. This lets:
.
- remote gpg --sign / --decrypt use the client's OpenPGP keys
(typically on a smartcard);
- remote ssh and git push authenticate via the client's OpenPGP
authentication subkey, enabling multi-hop ssh chains without ever
copying private keys.
.
The wrapper first opens an extra ssh connection to discover the server's
gpg-agent socket paths, then opens the real connection with two
RemoteForward entries mapping those to the client's agent-extra-socket
and agent-ssh-socket.
I am maintaining it. I am looking for "co-maintainers" or "human backup".
I don't think I need a sponsor as I think I known quite well how Debian
Operating system is working — I'm leading the djibian blend:

(This package already exist on djibian)
