Ugh, I tried looking into the state of codesigning foss apps for windows, and it's not great it seems.

https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo/issues/1#issuecomment-2111...

suggests either:

https://github.com/Azure/trusted-signing-action

Which is 10 USD/month - or publishing in the windows store:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/?tabs...

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/microsoft-store-publi...

Not free either, but one time fee:

Azure looks good, but won’t approve you unless your company is 3 years old. They include this little important detail way to late in their docs (after you pay)
Yeah, it’s weird on Windows.

I paid Apple $99/year for code signing on Mac but at least it worked seamlessly. On Windows it seemed like the code signing process varies depending on where you buy the certificate from!
