Samuli: Maybe our release announcements should be PGP signed, with
sha256sums of the files we're releasing?  And maybe we should consider
a possibility to host at least a copy of the PGP signatures of our
files on an external server too?  (That should*not*  be a mirrored
setup, but somehow distributed outside of a public HTTP{,S})

Many projects use PGP to sign the release files with a release key, which is well-known and published in multiple places. Once you have the key, it is usable for many releases/patches/emails (typically a year or two).

One visible example is ISC, which does this with bind, dhcp, etc. see www.isc.org/downloads/

S/MIME signed email (such as this one) should be easy for an X.509-based product :-).
