Since 2024-Feb-15 the [released tarballs](https://downloads.tryton.org/6.0/?C=M&O=A) are no more signed. Is it by accident or on purpose?

OK, that explains, but does not answer WHY signatures are removed

Friendly ping.

What is the stance of the project/maintainer on this topic?

Especially in the light of the recent [xz backdoor](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4) signed tarballs or commits are at least one item in the chain of trust. Without signed tarballs anyone in control of [downloads.tryton.org](https://downloads.tryton.org/) could submit malicious content, while with signed tarballs additionally the key of the release manager would have to be compromised.
