I understood the intentions.

I am not sure if omitting signed-tags and doing only signed-commits
is a sensible choice, as it does not seem to reduce the patch load
any meaningful way.  Besides, because historically signed tags are
more heavily used than signed commits, if it made sense to do only
one of two, I would have somehow expected that tags would be done
first.

But anyway, I understood why this was done only half of the scope as
a first step.

Thanks.
