Yes yes, ok!  But like i said, wouldn't it be nice if at least
release commits would be signed also, a.k.a./or when a new branch
is created?  In Linux for example the merge commits to the master
branch are signed, in addition to the tags of the actual releases.
It may even be a deja vu and i may have clamoured in the past.

I do not know much about github.

In fact i did not even know that the Linux release commits are
_not_ signed, because if i look (what do _i_ know from the
kernel?) then i only look at master, and there you see signed
commits.  And since my url= is https i do not actually verify
tags.  (In fact it is automated and simply diff(1)s in the
difference to the version stated in the Makefile in
/usr/src/linux/.)  But true, the last merge before Linux 5.14 was
signed, but the creation of the linux-5.14.y branch not.
Ach, forget about the noise, i hope next time i finally have my
head turned on before i post :)

Thank you.
