It's my pgp key. This is used if I want to verify that the email is
from me. I don't use it on mailing lists because it just takes up space
and confuses newcomers. I use it if I want to make sure that a
particular person can be sure the email is from me. It's also useful
for encrypting mail.
The final line (gpg --keyserver, etc.) tells someone how to get my pgp
key. I will sign this particular email inline, with apologies to the
list for space taking, just to show you what it is.
(I can also just sign--in this case, I'm doing it in line so that email
clients don't see it as an attachment.)
