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