They could sign an email address instead of a name.

Why bother with an email address? You could just punt the identity verification to the domain registrars and sign the domain.

I don't really think this scheme would benefit the end user though.

I would prefer notepad-plus-plus.org rather than some vague "Notepad, LLC", registered somewhere in the world.

Or just show domain. I think that notepad-plus-plus.org is good enough as an identifier.
