> A "bad" commit might still be perfectly fine to fetch certain things from if they're unaffected by it

The database could store a comment with each "bad" commit hash to help people decide if they're affected. It could even go further and include a list of tainted packages, so you could programmatically determine whether one of them is in your dependency tree.

> you're now tasked with the job of keeping the list of bad commits safe somehow.

Right now afaik Ludovic's key is the root of trust (is this still true?) so I imagine we'd sign the list too, with that key or some other key signed by it.

Not sure what you mean by this, can you explain?
