just interested: shouldn't this be much more of a problem for the parts
of Tails that few people ever look at?

In another recent mail you mentioned PGP signed git commits,
but I haven't found anything about that in the documentation
(e.g. https://tails.boum.org/contribute/merge_policy/ doesn't mention
signed commits). Do these provide enough protection?
