Well, authentication had been introduced in guix-past on July 2020 by
commit 3024ca58ee914e1be67729a28a3e0289acaa7cf3.

Indeed, we screwed up!  Because we have not checked that all committers
had been aware of this change.  The only way is that one person of:

remove the problematic unsigned commit.  Maybe you can do it yourself,
push force to go back at ecfb8af08eb8aa7d7b6a4b1edcc5fb1e177fa214.

Then ask to one of authenticated people to add your GPG key.
