This is a bad idea. A signature on a public key just verifies
that the signator is willing to testify that you have a claim to the
name on your key. There is *NO* claim made about how much you should
be trusted, and using ID verification as a metric of suitability for
the new maintainer team (or anything at all) is not good.
