Statements

The Qubes core developers who have digitally signed this file [1]
state the following:
1. The date of issue of this canary is April 9, 2020.
2. There have been 56 Qubes Security Bulletins published so far.
3. The Qubes Master Signing Key fingerprint is:
427F 11FD 0FAA 4B08 0123 F01C DDFA 1A3E 3687 9494
4. No warrants have ever been served to us with regard to the Qubes OS
Project (e.g. to hand out the private signing keys or to introduce
backdoors).
5. We plan to publish the next of these canary statements in the first
two weeks of September 2020. Special note should be taken if no new canary
is published by that time or if the list of statements changes without
plausible explanation.
Special announcements
- ----------------------
None.
Disclaimers and notes
- ----------------------
We would like to remind you that Qubes OS has been designed under the
assumption that all relevant infrastructure is permanently
compromised. This means that we assume NO trust in any of the servers
or services which host or provide any Qubes-related data, in
particular, software updates, source code repositories, and Qubes ISO
downloads.
This canary scheme is not infallible. Although signing the declaration
makes it very difficult for a third party to produce arbitrary
declarations, it does not prevent them from using force or other
means, like blackmail or compromising the signers' laptops, to coerce
us to produce false declarations.
The news feeds quoted below (Proof of freshness) serves to demonstrate
that this canary could not have been created prior to the date stated.
It shows that a series of canaries was not created in advance.
This declaration is merely a best effort and is provided without any
guarantee or warranty. It is not legally binding in any way to
anybody. None of the signers should be ever held legally responsible
for any of the statements made here.

On my side, Andrew's email signature verifies correctly. On the other
hand, I get bad signature on yours email, probably because of
automatically added footer (use gpg inline instead of mime to avoid the
issue - this way the footer will be outside of the signed part).
