we do have a GPG Nextcloud key that we use to sign the release packages is this not enough ?

So every published tarball is signed with that key. Can this be verified on the downloaders end? like with gpg --verify? I had no luck with that. . If so I've probably missed something. If not a sha256sum is also a possiblity.
