Interesting question.

Some things to consider:

Linux and Rust and Rust use GnuPG to sign their releases. IMHO, Minisign would be better, but okey.

Both projects are very large. I wonder how they handle key distribution for the key pair that signs the release. Is the private key online or offline? How do they prevent the private key from leaking?
