Verified creator status for pypa about gh-action-pypi-publish

[ewdurbin]

[ewdurbin]

Verification is active.

Thanks @di. I can confirm the application receipt made it to the verified email for the PyPA org. I’ll update if any further correspondence comes through.

[ewdurbin]

Signed paperwork from GH. Awaiting further updates.

Hey @pradyunsg @di @ewdurbin, could you look into requesting the verified creator status for @pypa? The instructions are here https://docs.github.com/en/developers/github-marketplace/github-marketplace-overview/applying-for-publisher-verification-for-your-organization.

[ewdurbin]

Seems we just need a verified public email address for the PyPA... but I'm really not sure what the ideal one would be.

[ewdurbin]

I created [email protected], and have requested verification.

[webknjaz]

Thanks Ee! I'll keep this issue open until we hear back from GitHub.

[webknjaz]

@ewdurbin the marketplace page still shows up as unverified. Could you check why?

[ewdurbin]

@webknjaz not sure what else there is to do.

maybe it is not retroactive, perhaps a new release would show verification?

[webknjaz]

maybe it is not retroactive, perhaps a new release would show verification?

Yeah, you must be right. The status hasn't changed, but I'll try to remember to check again after making a new release.

[webknjaz]

UPD: I asked to perform the same procedure in another organization and the admins couldn't because they got There must be 1 or more GitHub/OAuth App registered by the organization to request publisher verification. This makes me think that maybe GH only shows this status for Apps but not Actions... It's not clear.

[juhoinkinen]

It might be that the process to get the status badge for Actions is different than for Apps, and it would be necessary to participate in GitHub’s Partner program. :(

[webknjaz]

Yeah, that appears to be the case.

Here's what GH support replied me:

Hello Sviatoslav,

Thank you for reaching out to GitHub Support! I'm sorry to hear about any confusion that came from these Marketplace processes.

Currently, there is no public process for applying to be a verified creator in regards to publishing actions. The Marketplace documentation mentions that verification is only available to select GitHub partners:

GitHub verifies some partner organizations and these are shown as verified creators.

The documented process you mention for applying for publisher verification is exclusive to GitHub App publishing.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns I can assist with!

Best,

Arthur
GitHub Support

@di @ewdurbin I think the PSF/PyPA should already be partnering w/ GH in the context of Warehouse's integration with https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/secret-scanning-partner-program. Could that help us get the PyPA org verified for actions? Any ideas?

FWIW GitHub's own docs already showcase the use of this action in their examples of publishing to various registries so it only seems reasonable for this project to be verified.

[di]

I think that makes sense. I've applied on behalf of the PyPA and included that as justification, let's see what happens.

[webknjaz]

Thanks everyone 🙏

[ewdurbin]

GH says we are now good to go. Has anything in the way its displayed changed?

[di]

Doesn't seem like it:

Maybe there's some sort of review period?

[di]

Reopening because while the PyPA org appears to be a verified publisher:

the action itself is still not verified:

The docs at https://docs.github.com/en/apps/publishing-apps-to-github-marketplace/github-marketplace-overview/about-marketplace-badges#for-github-actions say:

Actions with the , or verified creator badge, indicate that GitHub has verified the creator of the action as a partner organization. Partners can email [email protected] to request the verified creator badge.

@ewdurbin, were you in touch with this email address before, or do we need to reach out to them as the last step here?

@ewdurbin post-pycon ping here!
