FWIW I've seen all sorts of files attached as "assets" for a release; if
there's an allowlist of formats, it must be quite permissive. We do release
appimages, yaml, and many other formats. About signatures, I've seen .asc
files used around (probably generated via gpg --armor --detach-sign
file.tar.gz).
