There is a "FFmpeg release signing key" key already, used for the 
tarballs, and which you obviously have access to. Can we not use it for 
the release tags too, instead of a new key to your name? It would 
probably require creating the git tags using the ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org 
email.

This new key of yours could be used for your commits, but for the 
release tags, if possible better use the same key the relevant tarball 
will also use, IMO. It will simplify package managers that already fetch 
tarballs to also fetch git tags as fallback and not require the use of a 
different key for verification.
