Hi,

Have the releases been signed with a correct key? 

Asking as [1] says this "It is recommended that your Apache email address is 
used as the primary User-ID for the code signing key". The artefacts are signed 
by aha...@adobe.com key  F8502A44 which is obviously not an Apache email 
address.

If you ignore [1] (it's only recommended) the KEYS file contains the key 
C9383D43  with a sub key of F8502A44. Looking up aha...@adobe.com here [2] 
gives me the id C9383D43 not F8502A44. So it looks like it been signed with the 
sub key and not the public key.  My (limited) understanding was that pubic key 
are used for signing and sub keys for encryption.  Does this matter? Not 100% 
sure but [3] + [4] seem to imply that there might be an issue here.

Thanks,
Justin
