Yes, in this particular case, it is the only way forward.

I understand the feelings—OpenPGP in general but also GPG make for a
unpleasant user experience coupled with a steep learning curve, and few
reach the top of that curve (I haven’t).
That said, I think authenticating source code is important. Starting
from a few months ago, Git supports other means to do that, but they’re
not widespread and not all that attractive. With all its warts, OpenPGP
is what we have to do that.
It would be sad to fork the repo for this reason; maybe we can discuss
ways to make it practical for you, such as creating a single-purpose key
that you wouldn’t have to worry much about?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
