Hi,

as we put several verification info into the announcement mails, and after
doing it a couple of times manually, I've invented this quick solution.

https://gist.github.com/weltling/2d2972aa5325ee3b530c

I would suggest to take it into the scripts/ and to adjust the corresponding
release process document part. It's a bit raw yet, but does the job and can
be improved later. This way we can standardize the matter and avoid c/p
mistakes.

Regards

Anatol

Good starting point !

Could you push it to scripts/ , so that we can start improving it , make it
more mature and then we could add it to our release process :-)

Thx.

I think there is a typo on line#30, missing $

Having it as a separate script might be useful for 5.4/5.5 where it shouldn't be directly checked in, that was my motivation. And as a separate script it can be easily integrated into makedist in 5.6 and master. I'd be doing it in master first as a separate script, then backport to 5.6 after considering it stable.
