I'm relatively uneducated here, but doesn't OIDC still require some kind of secret to be posessed? What's the upside you're excited about?

Yeah, but the secret in question is possessed by Github, not you or your source.

PyPi will be able to verify that the id-token was signed with the Github secret, and therefore trust that the person described in the token is who they say they are.
