>From the gpg man page:

   --sig-policy-url string
   --cert-policy-url string
   --set-policy-url string

     Use string as a Policy URL for signatures (rfc4880:5.2.3.20).  If
     you prefix it with an exclamation mark (!), the policy URL packet
     will be flagged as critical. --sig-policy-url sets a policy url for
     data signatures. --cert-policy-url sets a policy url for key
     signatures (certifications). --set-policy-url sets both.

     The same %-expandos used for notation data are available
     here as well.

and

   --ask-cert-level
   --no-ask-cert-level

     When making a key signature, prompt for a certification level. If
     this option is not specified, the certification level used is set
     via --default-cert-level.  See --default-cert-level for information
     on the specific levels and how they are used. --no-ask-cert-level
     disables this option. This option defaults to no.

   --default-cert-level n
     [...]


--set-policy-url since 1999, --default-cert-level since 2004.
