we are actually talking abuot the same thing. The tag is signed with
your private key. As soon as you upload your public key to github, they
can verify the signed tag and add the "Verified" Text. And everyone else
can verify the tag also as long as they have your public key.

BTW: Since git 1.7.5 (I think) you can also sign commits and GitHub will
mark them as verified.
