Have to? Not currently. As with all process changes, there will be
community discussion around the different points.

I hope not!

Signatures, at least in email messages, are just an annoyance as I see them.

I don't even know how do sign an email message or make use of a
signature in a message I receive.

I have never made a commit to a repository, so would not be familiar
with signatures there; imagine it would be a barrier.

I'm not a FreeBSD committer, but on other git projects I sign my commits. AFAIK it's a good idea.

I'm curious what is annoying about it? It's just adding the 'sign' tag. If you want a portable GPG key check out something like a yubikey. I'm sure there's other portable hardware options.

# git commit -S -m "message"

You can also set to always sign automatically,

# git config --global commit.gpgsign true
