Very cool to see PyPI put more emphasis towards exposing provenance info. It would be even cooler if trusted publishing would finally support reusable workflows (https://github.com/pypi/warehouse/issues/11096).

It would be even nicer if there were a way to have an attestation without publishing with a workflow controlled by one of the tech giants. There's no way for me, someone who has had a PyPI account for many years and has used it for all that time to upload packages, to attach my own public key to my PyPI account and then sign uploaded distributions with my private key so the signature can be verified and count as an attestation.

If only there had been PGP signatures. Oh wait ...
