That's ok, although it shows perhaps a weakness in our model.

Git actually would have allowed you to create a signed tag pointing to
Ard's tag, and we'd have had the signature chain that way. Although
I'm not even sure the commit signature code has then ever been tested
with that kind of odd situation.

But that might have technically been the best way of doing things
(kind of like sign-offs on commits when forwarding them in email), but
I don't think it really matters.

I just mentioned this odd tag forwarding in the merge commit instead.
It all looks fine, it's just a bit unusual.
