## What Add GitHub verified signature support to the source verification policy by enabling the `github.verified` option alongside the existing web-flow GPG key. ## Why The current policy only allows commits signed with GitHub's web-flow GPG key (used for UI commits). This change extends trust to all GitHub-verified signatures including SSH, GPG, and S/MIME, accommodating contributors who sign commits locally with keys verified by GitHub. ## Notes - Applies to all signature types GitHub marks as "verified" Signed-off-by: jmeridth <[email protected]>
