Or, just use different levels of signatures (0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13).
Ideally, GPG would have a setting that allows one to specify distinct
levels of trust on a per-person per-signature class level. This is
something that I've always wanted to see implemented. I'm hoping to
learn the GPG internals some day, so that I could implement this.
