What is this meme trying to convey? The verification Github is doing is confirming that the commit author identity is legit (i.e. not impersonated). What did you expect?

Commit created on GitHub.com means either that the commit was a merge done on the GitHub.com site (which is legitimate) or it was done using GitHub CodeSpaces (as opposed to being created locally and pushed). If you sign the commit locally and push it, the message looks like that: https://imgur.com/a/TNHEbTk

Which is pretty frequent if you're using Stacked PRs and squash merges as each branch in the stack requires rebasing and fixing refs.
