1. I suspect dependabot doesn't work with this. Does it? Is this worth
giving up dependabot for?

2. What's the threat model? As best I can make out, someone would have
to compromise the dependencies in the local .m2/repo since anything
downloaded comes over https and is already signature checked.

3. Suppose someone does succeed in compromising this. What's the
impact? I suppose if someone changed junit.jar (for one example) they
could make maven test exfiltrate local data or run a crypto miner. but
I don't think we should be in the business of protecting against local
compromises.

How does this signature check prevent someone from doing something bad?
