Hi!

The git-buildpackage config includes these two attributes:
- upstream-vcs-tag
- upstream-signatures

See in context at e.g.
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-make/-/blob/master/lib/debian/gbp.conf.ex

I was wondering if Guido, as the git-buildpackage maintainer was open
if these two fields could be read from debian/upstream/metatada
directly? These fields are not really something that is decided by the
gbp users' preference, but attributes that depend on what upstream
does or does not do.

Also, as these fields don't exist in DEP-12 yet, I was wondering if
Jelmer as the owner of https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/
would be open to add these fields there?

This would feel like a very natural place to document how and where
upstream publishes releases.
