I would think the release manager should not sign "the apache way" a
binary or a binary distro with a binary in it that they didn't build.
Everything on the distro site needs to be signed.  I did not sign the
asdoc package when we released and I was asked not too long ago, I think
by someone from infra, to do that.

Maybe the mentors know the real answer to this.
