GNU tarballs, distributed on ftp.gnu.org, are signed with an OpenPGP
or LibrePGP key, yes. But since Gnulib is normally not downloaded from
there, but from its git repo, tarball signing is not relevant here.

Both Gnulib's repo (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git) and
many of the mentioned source code libraries use https transport. So,
that's not a distinguishing feature of Gnulib. Then, why mention it?
