This seems wise to me.  Does anyone have arguments against?

Technical nitpick: currently, the elpa.gnu.org scripts do not pay
attention to any Git tags (signed or not) to do their work.  We only use
the commits and their contents/history.

The "what" is the git repository of a GNU ELPA or NonGNU ELPA package.

If an attacker can introduce a commit containing malicious code, and
create a new git tag pointing to that commit, the GNU ELPA scripts will
fetch it, and release a new version of the package (now including the
malicious code).  By requiring tags to be cryptographically signed, we
can have a greater confidence that any new tag has at the very least
been signed off by the developer him/herself.

Do we know of any security experts who appeciate the moral principles
of free software, who could help us come up with methods that properly
handle both?

That seems plausible to me, but we are miscommunicating.
You're discussing the "how" of a possible breach,
but what I really need to know is the "what".
What is being breached?  What is the context here?

There could also be a breach on the server where the git repository is
hosted. The repository could be manipulated directly on the server. It
is not that likely but if such incidents happen they have a huge
fallout. I also expect that more and more people move their
:auto-sync'ed git repositories to private servers or smaller forges,
which may not be as protected as the most popular ones.

The idea is that the likelihood of both an SSH and a PGP key getting
stolen at the same time is lower than either one of them getting stolen
separately.

Yes, for example you could you could put your PGP key (usually a subkey)
on a smartcard, and have no copy on the local filesystem.

PGP keys usually also have an additional password, in addition to the
one that developers normally (we hope) use for their SSH key.

Thanks, Daniel.  That was a useful thing to do.

I meant that Daniel submitted this bug ticket after Stefan's message
stating that

The emacs-devel discussion that includes the topic of this FR has been
started earlier in the thread I linked to. So, there is no need to move
this FR to emacs-devel - it is already being discussed there.

I looked at that URL but I can't understand what it says.  I see
several ways to parse "This was explicitly requested to be made into a
bug ticket on emacs-devel" so I don't know what it means.  Can you
state your point more explicitly and not tersely?

The bug report is OK, but we want to discuss more general issues, I
think.

I don't have an opinion.  Frankly, I don't really understand what
would signing commits give in this regard, given that people who
install a package normally install a tarball, they don't clone the Git
repository.  I also don't think the goals were stated clearly, so it's
hard to reason about this.  But then I'm nowhere near being an expert
on this stuff, so I could easily miss something important.

I agree that we need to clean up the social system for maintaining GNU ELPA
packages.  It should be as clear and documented as that for Emacs core.

What do other maintainers think of this?

It addresses one ways of handlng GNU ELPA packagesm, but not all GNU
ELPA packages are handled in this way.  What other categories of
packages do we need to consider?

Breach of precisely what?  To think about this issue
requires an answer to that question.

                             both the SSH and GPG keys may be stolen, which

Is this a problem that has a solution?

Should we move this to emacs-devel?  A specific bug ticket
is not the right place for such an important topic.

I think that requiring every single commit to be signed is an overkill.
Maybe just the release tags?

I guess, :signature, if optional, may allow multiple levels of
verification:
1. nil :: no verification
2. (tags key1 key2 ...) :: verify release tags to match any of the
   listed GPG keys
3. (commits key1 key2 ...) :: verify every commit   

I am not sure what would be the most reliable way to specify the keys.

Also, people with write access to ELPA repo may be required to sign
their commits -- in the case of security breach if the SSH key gets
stolen, signing may be a barrier to protect altering the elpa-packages
configuration from injecting malicious GPG keys.

As discussed on emacs-devel it would be good if ELPA security could be
improved, preventing potential breaches on the side of the source
repository. This feature becomes more relevant the more packages are
:auto-sync'ed from their source repository.

My git commits are usually signed, so one could check the signature of
each commit which leads to a package build. This feature could be opt-in
for now, enabled via an attribute :signature in the elpa-packages
configuration. Maybe elpa-packages could store the fingerprint(s) of the
expected GPG key(s)?

In the case of a breach, both the SSH and GPG keys may be stolen, which
would allow an attacker to create commits on hosted repositories, such
that the mechanism would not help. However the source repository may
also get compromised via other vectors.
