 Page https://www.torproject.org/docs/signing-keys.html.en shows Nick
 Mathewson's old PGP key, not the current one.  It is the current key that
 is used to sign the Tor source tarballs.

 See here: http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/key-transition-statement-2.txt.asc

 Also, since the Wiki page will be edited, it would be nice if instruction
 on using the Tor public key were on the page.  When verifying the tarball
 I get this:

 $ gpg --verify tor-0.2.8.9.tar.gz.asc
 gpg: Signature made Mon 17 Oct 2016 08:16:09 PM UTC using RSA key ID
 8D29319A
 gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
 gpg: Signature made Mon 17 Oct 2016 08:16:09 PM UTC using RSA key ID
 9E92B601
 gpg: Good signature from "Nick Mathewson <nickm at alum.mit.edu>"
 gpg:                 aka "Nick Mathewson <nickm at wangafu.net>"
 gpg:                 aka "Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>"
 gpg:                 aka "Nick Mathewson <nickm at freehaven.net>"
 gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
 gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the
 owner.
 Primary key fingerprint: 2133 BC60 0AB1 33E1 D826  D173 FE43 009C 4607

      Subkey fingerprint: 7A02 B352 1DC7 5C54 2BA0  1545 6AFE E6D4 9E92
 B601

 Note the "Can't check signature: public key not found" above.
