That's... unusual.

I use Homebrew constantly and have never seen such a thing in my life, in any version of macOS/OSX over the past several years. Not in building from source, not in casks.

Like another commenter the only security change I have is "Allow apps downloaded from" set to "App store and identified developers" -- which I'd assume virtually every Mac user on HN has also set.

Perhaps you have some kind of unusual configuration? Or there's some very specific subcategory of Homebrew packages that encounter this problem?

Same, I install almost all new software via Homebrew and I've never had this problem.

What works for me is to ignore the trash message, in Finder, find the App, right click open, macOS displays a warning and open prompt, click Open, next time around do the same and post it seems to be fine.
