I performed a similar analysis on RubyGems and found that of the top 10k most-downloaded gems, less than one percent had valid signatures. That plus the general hassle of managing key material means that this was a dead-end for large scale adoption.

I'm still hopeful that sigstore will see wide adoption and bring authorial attestation (code signing) to the masses.
