Frustration with the new notarization requirement. Per your spctl results, Calibre is signed but unnotarized.
ETA: See comments from KovidGoyal (Calibre developer)
here.

One of the problems that non Mac people have with Macs is that on the Mac, as long as you are willing to do things the Mac way, everything works fine. If you try to force things to work some other way, everything becomes very difficult.

KevinH is the Mac developer for Sigil. He's not a non-Mac person. And I have been a Mac user for nearly 30 years.
What I'm trying to find out is whether Catalina's Gatekeeper can be overridden so as to allow clean installs of unsigned and signed-but-unnotarized apps.
On a related note, I'm wondering if KevinH (Sigil's Mac developer) and KovidGoyal (Calibre developer) are willing to distribute their apps unsigned if notarization proves too problematic. If not, development for Sigil and Calibre (and Alf's Calibre plug-in) for Mac may end.
But it appears I am the only Mac user here concerned about this ...

... so I will stop now.
P.S. I have moved my question to the Sigil forum:
