Research direction

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by surveying the Python release-tools scripts and the entry points that generate announcement communications, then determine where release download metadata is assembled. Done means the communications include a SHA-256 hash for each release download and the relevant behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
