The code for Secure Boot signing is embedded in the SRPM package, so it 
is easy to sign elrepo kmod packages for Secure Boot using your own key 
when rebuilding the packages. One solution would be for ALMA to generate 
and distribute their own SB key, and to sign the packages if/when they 
were to rebuild them.

We (elrepo) are happy to assist in any way we are able.
