I'm not sure that's plausible -- afaik the keyring gets synced to the
real keyservers for new signatures and uids, so removing addresses
doesn't work; though iirc you can do a revocation of a uid these days.

Crap, that wasn't me. Looks like my key's been compromised. Here's a signed
disavowal of the new key, and a revocation of the old key. Please check for
any uploads signed with the new key, they could be trojans.

There should be some way of getting back to the original conversation
in case something goes wrong. I guess a field containing a URL to an rt
entry or similar would work?

That means you can't reorder changesets easily. I wonder if it'd be
better say "del uid joeyh@master.debian.org" and have the tool work out
which uid (if any) that is.

I wonder if review stuff should be somewhere for easy grepping? Things
like the keycheck.sh output included in AM reports would be useful to
have around.

Didn't you delete a uid as well as add and remove a key? Why aren't
there differences?
