You don't need a trusted central party. You can sign using just shamir shares with a multi-round MPC protocol without ever reconstructing the real key. There's round-optimized schemes like MuSig2 and FROST for specifically schnorr-based signatures, which GPG doesn't support but are used in other places. I don't know what the effort to integrate that into git would look like.


If you're just signing, is there any role for MPC in in there?


To do the signing without having to reconstruct the privkey in any single location.
