This is a duplicate of http://debbugs.gnu.org/20298.

I repeat my comment from http://debbugs.gnu.org/20298#23:

Nobody here can do anything about this, it's a GNU sysadmin issue.
It's been reported to them, nothing seems to have happened.

If you want to verify the signature, the key is available from standard
keyservers, eg pgp.mit.edu. I don't see the value of a keyring that is
stored on the same ftp server as the file you want to download.
