This is the wrong list for all these questions, as everything you are
asking is done by releng.

releng makes the images by firing off koji tasks, the images are built
using imagefactory and oz, right now i manually upload the images to
ec2 though there is work underway to make an upload service that will
automatically upload images. the changesum file is made by running
"sha256sum -b *qcow2 *xz >CHECKSUM"  it is run by a script called
run-pungi. in the releng git repo. though we are looking at different
ways to compose f21.
