[qemu-web RFC PATCH] _download/source.html: show the GPG fingerprint for releases

[Alex Bennée]

along with a guide of how to verify the download.

I'd like to suggest to replace the above sentence with:

Our source code tarballs are signed with the
<a 
href="http://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&search=0xCEACC9E15534EBABB82D3FA03353C9CEF108B584">release 
managers key</a>. The fingerprint of this key is:
