Releases signed by Phil's key, not Nigel's.
State a more general policy of PGP signing, mention trust paths, cite
the main public keyserver pool, provide a link to a trustpath display
between Nigel's key and Phil's.
Provide Phil's current PGP keyid (noting will change in 2013).
Bounce via a redirector, on Phil's security site, because:
(1) xfpt barfs on &url(..) where the URL contains an ampersand
(2) No ampersands means less debugging across various platforms
(3) The redirector is https: with a public cert, where www.exim.org
does not have a cert (with that name, at this time).
All keys cited in 0xLong form (16 hex characters).
Nits:
(1) URL is given with https:// on one line, the rest on the next
(2) using alt text does not give the URL in the .txt format, despite
the docs, because we build .txt from w3m -dump, so the HTML form is
used.
(3) Ideally, we'll get around to having https://www.exim.org/ exist and
be usable for this redirect.
Side-effects:
(1) My name is in The Spec for the first time. :)
