Samuli have an old key (0x198D22A3, RSA-1024) and a new key (0x40864578,
RSA-2048).  He have switched to the new key and prefers to use that one.

We decided just a few days ago that we will switch to use the
[email protected] key for signing the officially released tarballs.

The proper key is:
pub   4096R/0x12F5F7B42F2B01E7 2017-02-09 [expires: 2027-02-07]
Key fingerprint = F554 A368 7412 CFFE BDEF  E0A3 12F5 F7B4 2F2B 01E7
uid   OpenVPN - Security Mailing List <[email protected]>

Which can also be found here:
<http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x12F5F7B42F2B01E7>

Yes!  I discovered the same issue and reported it internally a couple of
hours ago.  I expect it to be fixed in not too long.
