Also considering the GPG fingerprint:

$ gpg --fingerprint [email protected]
pub   4096R/0x12F5F7B42F2B01E7 2017-02-09 [expires: 2027-02-07]
      Key fingerprint = F554 A368 7412 CFFE BDEF  E0A3 12F5 F7B4 2F2B 01E7
uid                            OpenVPN - Security Mailing List 
<[email protected]>
sub   4096R/0xF80E8008F6D9F8D7 2017-02-09 [expires: 2018-03-06]
sub   4096R/0xD72AF3448CC2B034 2017-02-09 [expires: 2018-03-06]

The signing key fingerprints I have matches the one from the
signature verification.  So the installer is quite unlikely modified
by any external party.

And that signing key is signed by the same key as this e-mail.  If
that adds more confidence for you.
