For tracking the [TESTING] of the 4.1.2-patch1 binary for windows, I have 
created task Issue 127065,
<https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127065>.  Comment 7 there already 
speaks to the untrusted identification situation.

I am adding an abridged version of this message from Carl with the part 
relevant to certificate trust.  Note that most of us who have worked on 
4.1.2-patch1 and provided digital signatures will find that identity will be 
reported as untrusted based on the Web-of-Trust technique PGP software uses.  
We can, of course, verify the fingerprints and Apache account identity and 
certify each other.  That will change the status for those of us in this 
particular circle but not necessarily for anyone who does not already trust the 
identification of enough of us.

I don't think there is any way to get into this in our README files.  However, 
this is useful for any future contributions we might make to the page at 
<http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html> or anything supplemental that 
is oriented to the users of Apache OpenOffice and their particular range of 
skills.

[orcmid] 

The warning will go away for us who have created a mutual Web-of-Trust but it 
won't help those who are not in that circle or have not somehow determined to 
trust in it themselves.  This is still useful advice about how to do it.

PS: I don't think the dist-level KEYS file is updated automatically, so the 
release KEYS set needs to be refreshed to work.  (We can check that by waiting 
for a while to see if Carl's trust of Dennis's key shows up.)
