Hi, during DebConf9 the Debian Keyring Maintainers, the "Debian Maintainer Keyring Team" and FTPMaster discussed the maintenance of the extra debian-maintainers keyring. The conclusion was that the maintenance of the keyring is handed over to the Debian Keyring maintainers, while the policy (add/remove/change) is kept with the DM Keyring team.[1] Thanks to this change we FTPMasters can now allow Debian Maintainers to also use our various upload queues[2] for their uploads. You are no longer bound to ftp-master only. Note that DAK learns about changes in the keyring during dinstall, so there can be a delay of up to 6 hours before a newly added key is fully working. As DAK sends a mail with a summary of changes it learned, it is safest to wait until you saw this mail appear on debian-projects@l.d.o. [1] It is now a similar handling as for the other keyrings. There DAM tells keyring-maint who to add/remove. [2] With the exception of security. DMs continue to be unable to do security uploads, as that archive has no knowledge of DMUA status of packages. -- bye, Joerg <holger> Ganneff: Im confident in your ability to create flamewars.
