If the installer was compromised or modified in anyway, Windows would
be invalidating the
certificate's signature and you would see "Unknown Publisher" or other
warnings rather than displaying the name on the certificate "Open
Source Developer, Mark Roszko". Someone would have to have their own
trusted CA code signing certificate to resign it.
