Description

It has been requested multiple times that we publish the checksums of our downloads. This helps people check the integrity of the software they have downloaded. This could be integrated in the website, hopefully in a non-intrusive way for the user (only showing this information to the people who need it) and for the release manager (not having to compute those checksums manually would be great).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how downloads and releases are published on the website, then define a way to expose download checksums without burdening users or release managers; done means published downloads have verifiable checksums and the computation is not manual.
