Yes. That's why I said where I live, so people can mail me in particular
asking for contact info and check that I'm really me. Should I rephrase:

"
Hi. I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil and applied to be a Debian maintainer. I'd
love it if someone _that_lives_by_here_too_ could _contact_me_IRL,_check_
_my_identity_and_ sign my PGP signature so I'll not have to count on
sending copies of my docs.
"

Don't get too worried. I've seen requests like this before, or I wouldn't
have posted.
