I copied this from previous announcements but I'm not sure the release
process is right here. The "release.py sign-candidates" suggestion
implies that we expect people to sign all the files but for previous
releases, when I was not release manager, I only signed the Unix
tarballs since that is what I tested. If people sign all the files it
makes it harder to determine whether we have the required number of
Windows/Unix signatures.

We currently have 5 signatures on the Unix tarballs and 6 signatures on
the Windows zip file but from the mails to dev I believe that 1.7.5
still requires another "real" Windows signature.
