I still need to figure out the signing.  I'll probably do it for v3 release.

One small hitch I'm thinking about is the separate GDAL Complete - I think it 
would be a bit odd to sign GDAL with a QGIS dev cert, so I am considering 
making a truly all-in-one QGIS, but I really want GDAL as a separate package 
because I use it a lot outside QGIS.  There is also the external Python 3 that 
is not signed, which I may also bundle in the QGIS app, and additional python 
modules which are not signed.  Though loaded as a library to QGIS, I don't know 
if that matters.

In the end, even if I make an all-in-one QGIS, I'd still have a separate GDAL 
installer for those that need it, which wouldn't be signed, along with my 
Postgres/PostGIS stack (which uses GDAL Complete), also not signed.  So many 
users would still need to fuss with the macOS security to get that stuff 
installed and running.
