My apologies. I goofed up the signature(*), and uploaded a new signature
23 hours later. You can erase your fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2.asc file,
re-download it and should then get "Good signature...".

There are the digests of the fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2 tarball:

   MD5 (fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2) = b547b59f352af956911ce812773b3976
  SHA1 (fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2) = 9449e87036802d95fb07ab4d226f67709840b3ee
RMD160 (fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2) = 889a67a5858507d731851857f911e69ed27e86d0
 TIGER (fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2) = 247f1b1bae139fb2e5267356350819a43382e8fb537b1455
SHA256 (fetchmail-6.3.0.tar.bz2) = abe34809e1a6a4eb27c8c91efe763e7c9762d50bfee31d3174703f022982b76e

(*) I'd seen that the signed tarball still stated 6.3.0 had not been
released, changed that to released Nov 30, and forgot to re-sign the new
tarball.

Eek. We'll look into that.

Right.

Thank you for the reports.
