Which extension do you mean? Commitsigs or my collection at

http://plastictree.homeunix.net:8080/hg.cgi/hgssh ?

The latter is finished and documented. I use it for production.  
It does not use (need) crypto, just enforces usernames and puts 
all trust in a central server, like one would have with Subversion.

Suggestions are welcome.

Working on Commitsigs is still on my TODO list.
