To followup, how are the plans (stated in the referenced discussion)
about signing ELPA packages?
AFAIK, ELPA currently re-builds package tarballs every time a new tag
appears in the source repo. No signature checks, nothing to prevent
potential breach in the source repo.
And ELPA tarballs themselves are not signed. Same for non-GNU ELPA,
AFAIK.
