I take back what I said actually. The signature checker is very brittle,
and it already stops a number of valid messages from people who want to
post on the gpg-restricted lists such as debian-devel-annouce or
debian-security-announce.
I am not willing to maintain a seperate keyring for the debian-ctte
list, so you'll have to find another listmaster to do it.
I still fail to see why this list needs different rules than all the
others.
