The correct entity to do so for OSX and Microsoft Windows and any other platform for which OpenAFS.org will distribute signed binaries is the OpenAFS Foundation. Signing binaries implies an acceptance of liability if those binaries were to cause harm. The OpenAFS Foundation should not sign binaries until it has appropriate insurance coverage in place to protect the release team and the developers that contribute to the release. Your File System Inc. currently signs the Windows installers because those packages are predominantly a product of YFSI developers and it has the appropriate General and Errors and Omissions insurance policies in place to cover any lawsuits that might be initiated.
