Description

We should check if the correct author to sign the release tarball is set as the git author. Not sure how we can detect that but I already run twice into the problem that the git author was not the same as I signed the tarball with and the release script aborted half-way. This was not catched in the dry-run mode.

Research direction

Start by locating the release script and comparing its normal and dry-run paths, focusing on where the git author is checked before signing the tarball. Done means an incorrect author is detected before the release aborts, and dry-run mode catches the same problem.
