[Python-ideas] Using sha512 instead of md5 on python.org/downloads

[Miro Hrončok]

Hi,

I see md5 checksums at a release download page such as [1].

My idea is to switch to sha512 for a more reliable outcome.

I'm no security expert, but AFAK md5 is generally believed to be unsafe, 
as it was repeatedly proven it can be vulnerable [2].
