First I checked your signature.

At first I couldn't find your key on a keyserver, then I found a hint on
your sourcehut site.  Didn't you made your key public?  And is it
necessary to limit the key duration?

On an MSYS Machine I could start Emacs from your archive.  But there are
constant warnings:

Sadly on a "pristine" Windows machine I couldn't start Emacs from the
unzipped archive!  Your build has the same problem than mine.

  libgmp-10.dll

and probably more, are missing in the tree.  It seems that either
something is wrong with build-dep-zips.py. or not all .DLLs are copied
into the archive.  (Your installer I didn't check..)
