There was a time when I was a DD but didn't have an @debian.org address,
because I didn't want it, nor the responsibility for accounts on
debian.org machines. So, yes, I'm all in favor of checking keyids
instead. :)

Something like this would be preferable for me: I enter my info into a
web form, including my e-mail address. Comas puts it aside and sends the
e-mail address a confirmation request. When I reply, Comas knows the
e-mail address works and all is well. If I need to edit things later,
the same procedure will work again.
I'm not suggesting this be done for Debconf7, but it might be something
to think about for the future.
