I would check GPG keys if they made them available (already check
md5sums routinely).  It's easy to do; I scripted the whole process long
ago (check signature, copy file from /pub/incoming to /pub/source if
valid, dump .asc file after).  

All that's missing is a convenient list of signatures in the same place
as the download files, which GNOME should easily be able to do since 80%
of their stuff comes from the same site.
