GitHub user ppkarwasz added a comment to the discussion: Tag cleanup and 
protection

Signatures on commits and tags are a little bit different topic:

- We don't require signatures in PRs, because we have no way to verify GPG keys 
for **contributors**,
- However we know the keys of **release managers** and our users can easily 
verify that a release commit is signed by one of us.

To create a tag all it takes now is to steal a PAT with write permission on 
`contents`. However, you won't be able to sign it with a release manager's GPG 
key.
