Time Horizon: Short term

Description: Update both nixpkgs and nixpkgs-unstable only to signed commits by trusted maintainers whose keys have been verified through the WoT or in person.

Motivation: Continuation of nix-bitcoin hardening efforts.

Implementation: Find trustworthy maintainers who regularly commit signed commits to either nixpkgs or nixpkgs-unstable, verify their PGP keys through WoT or in person, write standard to only pin those commits, follow the standard.

This has turned out to be security theater. Maybe there will be an actual solution someday like flake authentication
