There is an issue with the signature.

When I download cups-2.2.8-source.tar.gz plus cups-2.2.8-source.tar.gz.sig
from the above URL I get
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gpg --verify cups-2.2.8-source.tar.gz.sig cups-2.2.8-source.tar.gz
gpg: Signature made Tue Jun  5 18:07:23 2018 CEST using RSA key ID 27815955
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In contrast that works with cups-2.2.7-source.tar.gz
plus cups-2.2.7-source.tar.gz.sig from
https://github.com/apple/cups/releases/tag/v2.2.7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gpg --verify cups-2.2.7-source.tar.gz.sig cups-2.2.7-source.tar.gz
gpg: Signature made Tue Mar 27 18:02:16 2018 CEST using RSA key ID 35DA97EB
gpg: Good signature from "CUPS.org <security at cups.org>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 45D0 8394 6E30 3528 2B3C  CA9A F434 1042 35DA 97EB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the "Current CUPS.org PGP Key" from https://www.cups.org/pgp.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gpg --list-keys

pub   4096R/35DA97EB 2017-12-19 [expires: 2021-12-19]
uid       [ unknown] CUPS.org <security at cups.org>
sub   4096R/4FBD127B 2017-12-19 [expires: 2021-12-19]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems the signature made for cups-2.2.8-source.tar.gz
with key ID 27815955 was the wrong key because it should
have been made with key ID 35DA97EB.
