+The distributions will be PGP signed by an individual key of the Release
+Coordinator.  This key will have a uid containing an email address in the
+&'exim.org'& domain and will have signatures from other people, including
+other Exim maintainers.  We expect that the key will be in the "strong set" of
+PGP keys.  There should be a trust path to that key from Nigel Metheringham's
+PGP key, a version of which can be found in the release directory in the file
+&_nigel-pubkey.asc_&.  All keys used will be available in public keyserver pools,
+such as &'pool.sks-keyservers.net'&.

+At time of last update, releases were being made by Phil Pennock and signed with
