gpg crypto backend very likely fails on json serialization

Hello, I think you should 'utf-8' decode the signature here:

Hi,
That sounds reasonable (although 'ascii' would also work in this case). I'm curious about what prompted your investigation of the gpg backend? I really don't recommend using it. In fact, it really should be marked deprecated and removed.

Hello, I was debugging the same issue with x509 backend in python3-fedmsg-1.0.1 and stumbled upon this. Finally, I have found out I can just upgrade python3-fedmsg to version 1.1. and x509 works there.
