I don't think that is relevant.

Someone downloading might be suspicious that the owner of a mirror has
tampered, and created a bogus KEYS file while tampering. So, various
global apache.org web pages suggest going to the svn repo for the
actual source code and getting KEYS from there. Nothing pubsub will
help with this.
