If the signing subkey was committed, that implies developers have it as a file on their system which I find surprising if true. They should be using hardware like a Yubikey or something. Especially for something this important.

People don't need an extra supply-chain failure mode to consider, and CVE-2024-45770 proved these dongles are mostly security theater. Likewise, the recent Coinkite user key prediction breach certainly wasn't cool for folks that lost their holdings. =3

The signing key for Firefox stored on a single hardware yubikey available to a single person?

Multiple hardware devices can have the same key.
