Regarding (4),

Once you've created the signature file, simply prepend text to it in front of 
the 

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

line.  You can have something like

    Signature by Release Manager Jordan Zimmerman
    Public Key Certificate: 
      <https://people.apache.org/keys/committer/randgalt.asc>
    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    [ ... ]

I suppose it would be useful to also link to a page on how to check the 
signature.

It seems strange to have that in the clear, but it is harmless.

I just confirmed that text in front of the initial ASCII armor line is simply 
ignored by GnuPG and I suspect all other PGP signature verification 
implementations.

PS: Here's a page that describes how to check, although a group of keys is 
recommended in that case:

That UID is there already. Can you explain what's missing?

Already removed. My .asc file should show up in /keys/committer/ soon.

No comprende. I'll research how to do this.
