This paragraph is signed with the same key as the previous releases (16vSNFP5Acsa6RBbjEA7QYCCRDRGXRFH4m). In addition, the 0.9 release is signed by Andreas Schildbach (GPG key id 0x8B877A60, accessible via http://bitcoin.org/andreas_schildbach.asc) and can be verified with *git tag -v 0.9* once you have his key.
