Automated/web commits (merge or web IDE commits) should be signed (OpenPGP or any other popular signing method)

Description

I want all the commits in my repo to be signed. However automated commits run by gitlab are not signed.

Proposal

At first boot gitlab should generate a Curve25519 OpenPGP key and use that key to sign all commits.

It should not be possible to upload a new OpenPGP key. New keys should only be generated on the machine that uses them
