Description

Description:

Verify sigstore signatures of python releases at https://github.com/actions/python-versions

Python releases are signed via Sigstore .
Github also announced to increasingly adopt sigstore

Justification:

If we verify the signatures for the downloaded python releases, the supply chain security would be greatly improved.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
