 Since macOS 10.11.5 there is the option
 [https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2206/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007919-CH1-TNTAG18
 to sign the dmg images themselves] (not just their contents) to make sure
 the .dmg file is actually coming from us. Might be worth doing given that
 the OpenPGP part requires yet another non-native tool for verification
 while users could use the built-in macOS capabilities to check whether the
 .dmg is good.

 Apart from that I am not sure about the benefit of signing the .dmg
 itself. Thanks to juno_hacker at HackerOne for pointing out the missing
 container signature.
