If I understand you correctly, then ordinary PGP email signing[1]
should work for that already.  In your first example, the receiver can
make sure whatever process grabs a pull request verifies it, and in
the second example, the receiver checks the signature on her email
before saving a bundle and passing it to "git fetch".
