[1] Depends how you "restrict" editing the keyring. I'd say that adding a key shall go through keyring-maint (a bit like DM works nowadays). It's not a complicated job, you mostly have to count points, and ask people to motivate their choices and to keep that record. E.G. it would be this person task to be sure A veto against B is on technical or trust reasons rather than a dislike of B. Updating one's own key on the other hand, or replacing signatures, or... should be a task than one's should be able to do on his own. Only if the old key is invalid for some reason (key was revoked, expired, whatever) then yeah, we should not let that people do it either. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
