What is the proper procedure for checking the signature? I get:

  $ gpg --verify emacs-26.1-rc1.tar.xz.sig emacs-26.1-rc1.tar.xz
  gpg: Signature made Mon 09 Apr 2018 03:39:18 PM EDT using RSA key ID 6AFCF978
  gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

The key that I have for you is 7C207910 (from the GNU keyring at
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg).

What am I missing?

Thanks.
