11 I appreciate that you bring up this point. I would expect that part of
12 that state is for the developer to verify the source distfile from
13 upstream using OpenPGP / GnuPG as well, i.e not just rely on TOFU
14 (trust on first use). This also means keeping a (locally) certified
15 copy of the upstream distribution key that is reasonably verified by
16 the developer.
