I need to create a .tar.gz and a .tar.gz.asc.

I am currently not using any service to upload to pypi. But this requires the 
occasional creation and deletion of global tokens.

The only way to avoid global tokens is to upload from github, in which case I 
can no longer sign the .tar.gz.

I was more referring to the fact that all the replies were insinuating that 
I'm paranoid for not wanting to upload a privkey to some github service, and 
that anyway signatures are useless so it doesn't matter.

Plus I find it very questionable that the choice is between creating a global 
token and using github, but that's a different issue that I'm not optimist 
about.

A signature isn't the same as a checksum. Probably nobody was using them 
because there was no way to check them automatically.
