By chance I noticed

https://johnstawinski.com/2024/01/11/playing-with-fire-how-we-executed-a-critical-supply-chain-attack-on-pytorch/

I know basically nothing about GitHub Actions
so I can neither check nor verify whether or not
all those GitHub Actions that are run for ReaR are safe.

In particular I worry about those GitHub Actions
that produce so called "binaries" from our ReaR sources
like RPM packages which could be installed by users.
Is it safe for our users to install
those "binaries" on their systems?
Will those "binaries" always contain only our
unmodified ReaR sources (i.e. same as "git clone")
or might those "binaries" contain modified ReaR sources?
