Per the guidelines:

    Where the upstream project publishes OpenPGP signatures
    of their releases, Fedora packages SHOULD verify that
    signature as part of the RPM build process.

If upstream doesn't provide a signature for their releases,
then there isn't anything to verify.

The guideline is also a SHOULD not a MUST, so it's not a
blocker to lack signature verification (though I'd argue it
should be a very strong SHOULD, if not a MUST. ;)

It might be worth asking the upstream maintainer if they
would consider signing the release tarballs.

I have to guess that you're looking to use slim-fork, rather
than the original slim?  The latter hasn't seen any changes
since 2013¹, while the former has been updated recently to
1.4.0² (as far as I can tell with some quick searching).
