It's great that DC is making their latest laws available to everyone, however it's a little scary that the commits aren't signed, meaning that anyone who gained access to the github repo could forge them (and do more than fixing typos).

Hopefully DC (and others) will look at doing GPG signatures[0,1] so that they don't have to trust github's authentication as much. Github has a nice GUI that reflects signatures with the "Verified" tag, which you can see at[2].
