Best way is to spread your key fingerprint around imo.
If you only use one site as the source of trust, it's a single point of failure. Even if it's Github.
I have to do that myself, still figuring things out around PGP keys
agree, and some of them are quite hard to search, e.g. Mullvad VPN, I couldn't find it in other places besides their site, madness.

why the devs are making things to tricky, is it really meant for people to verify! or just trust.

same, I'm verifying all the software that I use, good things is I don't use many.

That's a signature, not a key fingerprint 👀
do I have to revoke this message using a new signed message 👀👀👀

then I couldn't find it other than their site - how is that possible, given how many people are using their tools. 😂
Once you’ve observed enough matching fingerprints from enough independent sources in enough different ways that you feel confident that you have the genuine fingerprint, keep it in a safe place.
