And it is a requirement in particular in the case where the author is |
| 14 |
not a gentoo dev as the certificate used for the signature otherwise |
| 15 |
isn't recognized. The committing developer will need to have a local |
| 16 |
framework in place for certificate validation to ensure that the author |
| 17 |
is authentic, after that the committing author is responsible for all |
| 18 |
behavior of the commit. |
