Website and release security

Developers do not have direct unilateral write access to this website. Changes must be signed by both ThomasV and SomberNight, automatically checked by a script before made publicly visible. Release distributables are reproducible, and need to be signed by at least the same two keys, before the script exposes them to the webserver.
