Whoops!  OK, i just found: http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/ which has both SHA1 and MD5 sum fingerprints.  I was surprised to see this closed without any indication of where the fingerprints had actually been posted.  Looks good to me now.

If you're going to use self-signed certificates, the key itself should be widely published.

I wanted to verify the SSL certificate for savannah.gnu.org with the posted MD5 thumbprint.  When inspecting an SSL certificate, the Opera browser reports only the MD5 thumbprint, Internet Explorer reports only the SHA1 thumbprint.  Only when I looked with Mozilla did I realize there were two.  So I suggest posting both thumbprints so that users using any of these browsers can readily verify the SSL certificate.
