I was having a very hard time finding where this gets allocated, and to
be honest, I still don't know for sure. I think in
check_commit_signature() which is called by format_commit_one().
In "[PATCH 20/21] builtin/merge: release outbut buffer after performing
merge" you mention it's not obvious to the caller they need know about
memory they need to clean up, isn't that case here as well?
