Re: [Debconf-discuss] Last call for keys for keysigning in Cape Town, South Africa



Hi all,

I have a query -

While I understand the web of trust which is one of the major parts of
keysigning and the process is detailed at
https://www.debian.org/events/keysigning . Where it fails me is that
WoT has little or no value to a person who doesn't want or have any
uploading rights to the debian archive.

The only argument given for WoT for non-technical peopel is the case
where you need to prove your electronic identity to another entity
who's also unknown but you need to prove your identity as Jacob
Appelbaum is shown doing in citizenfour but such instances are pretty
rare.

Is there any other compelling reason for non-technical, contributors
having no upload rights to use WoT , apart from being part of an
awesome developer's key  ?
