I think: include that patch in an email (not an attachment), and sign it.
A signed git commit does not get transfered by email, alas.
You'd have to use git:// or https:// or.. to transfer the git signature.

You would have to sign the output of `git format-patch` separately.

Git signatures are stored in tag objects which refer to the signed
commit. An exported patch is only part of a commit and therefore does
not carry the commit ID, which is what Git signs, if I recall correctly.

Another option would be to attach a Git bundle to an email, generated
using `git bundle create origin/master..SIGNED-TAG-FOR-PATCH` although
this would be less easily reviewed.
