That rebuild is just to fix packages that were already using GPG signatures and need the fingerprint(s) added. There are a lot that could be using them and aren't yet. This could likely be automated to a large extent. Using a script to detect if HTTPS works for fetching the sources along with checking for signature files by appending .asc and .sig seems like a promising plan.
