  Can someone please show me how to see when a given container image tag on GHCR was pushed because all I can find is "over 1 year ago " on the page. They can't really be this bad at things, can they?

  I don't mean to be a killjoy but "vouching for trusted people" is not a scalable way to build a software ecosystem. I was there, I ran signing parties, I was a CAcert assurer, I've got a strong-set GPG key in a hardware token, none of it worked beyond the most fringe of the fringe dorks. You get a few ossified relationships between major public figures and a small ring of friends around each, and then your permissions are effectively locked down forever. Do you...
