Where to get MD5 hashes from a GitHub release?

Question

I am looking to get the MD5 hash for a tar.gz GitHub release from here: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/releases

Would like to use it in my CMake. Does anyone know where I can get it? I could not find much of a solution through Google.

As VertigoRay suggests in his answer, I emailed GitHub at [email protected].

Subject: Suggestion: Show the checksum of each release

For example, I want to download a release from https://github.com/vim/vim/releases.

Shouldn't there be a sha256 checksum displayed next to each release?

They replied within 40 minutes thanking me for my feedback and informing me that they had added my +1 to their internal Feature Request List.

Feel free to send GitHub my email if you'd also like to add your +1.
