It isn't.  It's not a tag at all.  It's a branch.

I can do that.  Alternatively you could manually verify the signature
on my email and observe that it mentions the correct commit hash.

I read that.  It does not say that the pull request must refer to a
signed tag.  It says that the pull request must be signed, so I signed
my pull request by feeding the email body to gnupg.

A detailed explanation of why you want the pull request to be signed,
rather than for it to be an unsigned email referring to a signed tag,
is beyond the scope of this memo :-).

Anyway, would you like me to make a signed tag and send you an
unsigned email referring to it, then ?  Or will you use the signed
email ?

Regards,
Ian.
