That came out of nowhere.

PGP is more popular among communities because it uses a trust system
based on a web trust. (This signature belongs to that person because:
I've met this person and trust him, OR 'x' other people I know trust him.)

S/MIME is more popular in corporations because it's certificates are
based on a hierarchy of certificate authorities. (This signature belongs
to that person, because the certificate was issued by Company, and
Company's signature was in turn signed by Thawte, for example.)

Not having any kind of authority works well for community projects.

It's worth a discussion in itself, but I don't see a reason to have that
here. I personally use PGP, and think it works well enough in
Thunderbird with the Enigmail extension.
