We have a project freesite. This is established using revocable SSKs -
essentially, it checks a list of keys where revocation certs might have
been inserted, before granting access to the site. The site includes
both source and binaries, and we offer automatic updates (possibly from
source, as it may be easier to secure).

A pool of humans watch the CVS list, checking for anything unreasonable.
That would be the developers.

A pool of bots run by trusted humans watch the CVS list, and cross-check
it against the actual SVN updates. If the two are inconsistent, they
complain. They also fetch the source from the official freesite, and
check that against the actual SVN of the relevant time. If that fails to
match, some of them have the ability to insert a revocation certificate.

Several of the devs also have the ability to insert a revocation
certificate.
