Yeah, makes sense Homebrew doesn't sign everything with their own certs. I was suggesting that Homebrew could run codesign locally with the user's local certificate as part of the install process.

Every software distributor has this problem, code-signed or not. This is either already happening to Homebrew (and not using code signing) or there's some other reason that it isn't happening.
