For what it's worth, if all the tags are signed with the same GPG key,
that's imo better than no signature at all. You could also add a line to
your release email saying that the tag(/the release tarball) have been
signed with the GPG key with fingerprint xxx. Even if your key is not in
a centralized trust registry, this makes it harder to mess with the tags
after the fact for someone who don't have access to your key.
