I visually inspected the differences between the tarballs and the
zip file before signing. But I didn't run tests on Windows.

I thought the platform that people test on would count towards the
required amount of sigs for the platform. And that those who didn't
test a particular archive could still sign the archive without affecting
the count of per-platform test runs.

But I would not object to changing release.py in a way that allows
signatures only on archives tested.
