For whatever it's worth: that's my key (for my non-corporate email
addresses) and I'm the legit (and to my knowledge) only holder of its
private key.

I guess I could add it to the site but then again that's the same
server as the one you're download the archive and signature from, so
if somebody manages to tamper with the archive they could also put
their own key there.
I'll make sure to get a few signatures onto the key so it's hooked up
with the web of trust, but that won't happen very soon.
