>I'd hope third-party hosted CI/CD services begin to take that gap seriously and work on meeting those requirements.

How is a third party service, especially a self-hosted one, expected to meet those requirements? They seem to be lengthy, onerous, and also require a detailed vetting by the pypi team that is unlikely to scale beyond a few large hosting providers.

(What's more, this does relatively little to actually signal trust to someone downloading them. All it does is provide a signature that one of the big providers has built the package from a given source (but nothing about the trustworthiness of that source). This is a problem much better solved by reproducable builds and distributed verification of those builds)
