IIRC, Symantec was the vendor providing code-signing certificates.

Are those certificates impacted by the impending dis-trusting of
Symantec-issued TLS certificates?

DigiCert is purchasing (has purchased?) Symantec's various CAs, and that
also might have an effect on (a) the trust of our
certificates/signatures and (b) the future of the code-signing
arrangement with the new vendor.

I suspect DigiCert will be happy to continue to provide ASF with
low/no-cost code-signing credits, but it might be nice to have that
clarified sooner rather than later.

Thanks,
-chris
