- Upload gitian zips to SourceForge
- Perform code-signing.
- Code-sign Windows -setup.exe (in a Windows virtual machine using signtool)

Note: only Gavin has the code-signing keys currently.
- Create `SHA256SUMS.asc` for builds, and PGP-sign it. This is done manually.
Include all the files to be uploaded. The file has `sha256sum` format with a
simple header at the top:
```
Hash: SHA256
