Looking at this line, I'm trying to understand it...

OpenRefine/OpenRefine/blob/337d4e2dcedb88fd32ec8ff13439cf0073782d6d/.github/workflows/snapshot_release.yml#L253


      
            run: mvn -B test
            env:
              GPG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
          
          - name: Set version string output variable
            id: version_string_variable
            run: echo "output_value=$(mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:3.1.0:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout)" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          
          - name: Package and upload to OSSRH
            run: |
              mvn -B deploy -DskipTests=true -DrepositoryId=ossrh -Dapple.notarization.username=$APPLE_USERNAME -Dapple.notarization.password=$APPLE_PASSWORD -Dapple.notarization.team.id=$APPLE_TEAM_ID -Dgpg.signer=bc
            env:
              OSSRH_USER: ${{ secrets.OSSRH_USER }}
              OSSRH_PASS: ${{ secrets.OSSRH_PASS }}
              MAVEN_GPG_KEY: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
              MAVEN_GPG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
              APPLE_TEAM_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_TEAM_ID }}
              APPLE_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.APPLE_USERNAME }}
              APPLE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLE_PASSWORD }}
          
          - name: Upload release asset for Windows (with Java)

What does this do on the Maven cmd and who is bc ?
-Dgpg.signer=bc

This command generates our release artifacts and signs and notarizes the MacOS package with Apple.

BC stands for "Bouncy Castle", a Java implementation of GPG:
