As a side point...

This is also a lot of extra overhead for people to get up and going.
The git approach of guaranteeing integrity by signing tags only is
much better, both because it accomplishes the same thing and because
people can actually use it without having to share keys everywhere.

[I can't get (most) people to use keys for ssh, good luck trying to
get them to do it for version control...]
