Solving the PGP Revocation Problem with OpenTimestamps for Git Commits

Given the recent timestamping discussion, I thought my recent blog post on
OpenTimestamp's git integration might be interesting to this community:

https://petertodd.org/2016/opentimestamps-git-integration

While the git integration itself is just an implementation detail, and doesn't
merit discussion here, I think the specific problem I describe with verifying a
web-of-trust PGP signature in the face of revocation/expiration is a good
example of a very real-world problem a timestamp proof can help solve.
