I appreciate the effort, but I don't think many people are aware of what PGP is or what it's for. It's far more likely for them to follow step-by-step instructions on how to verify software/anything else that probably starts with importing the keys they will need anyway (which is dangerous if not scrutinized, I guess, so maybe something like this is necessary).

Those who are informed likely won't need a guide on which keys they need, but I suppose the compilation could be useful. At the very least, you should probably point out who each of them are and why people may want to import their keys. Just my two satoshis on the matter Smiley

no offense to any of the following people but i don't understand why we need the following people's PGP signatures. what are they releasing?
gavinandresen, MarcoFalke, achow101

maybe it is best to add a new column saying where their Pubkeys are used so people have an idea what projects they are involved with. for example ThomasV is for Electrum.

also the Bitcoin core (the one before last) link is SHA256 checksums. when you verify authenticity with PGP signatures you do not need to check hashes anymore. PGP will cover that and more.
