I would assume you would need to do this, for each user, by overriding
the get_revision_cert_trust hook.

If multiple users have different projects with different policies,
this could get awkward.

I think there is a proposal to solve this issue, if I got to the bottom of
http://www.venge.net/monotone/wiki/TrustFoundations I see:

"Mechanisms to automate this, and allow delegation to a 'project
authority' for common VersionedPolicy statements that affect trust
evaluation are the next major development focus."

If I click on the link to
http://www.venge.net/monotone/wiki/VersionedPolicy though, I get lost.

I believe the get_revision_cert_trust does this.
