I'm trying to keep the website up-to-date :)

Several users asked for the fingerprint to be added somewhere on the
Emacs website, and I thought it was a good idea, as the GNU keyring is
not up-to-date and it looks like most users don't use it.

Indeed, it was very hard for me to get my key on this keyring, it took
ages.
