Neither the age nor the cardinality of the key graph tells me anything if I don’t trust the maintainers themselves; given that you’re fundamentally providing third-party builds, what’s the threat model you’re addressing?

It’s worth nothing that all builds of uv come from a locked resolution and, as mentioned in TFA, you can get signed artifacts from us. So I’m very murky on the value of signed package commits that come from a different set of identities than the ones actually building the software.
