I submitted a proposal to the git list that would address this, but it 
saw little uptake in the discussion:

https://public-inbox.org/git/20190910121324.GA6867@pure.paranoia.local/t/#u

To summarize it in brief, I suggested using minisign signatures and 
git-tracked TOFU (trust on first use) databases. TOFU is not perfect, 
but it's better than nothing at all, which is what we have right now.
