At this point you should use gpg, not pgp.  The only dependency we have
left on pgp is the voting system and gecko has already been working on
getting rid of that one.

What you need to do with pgp is pgp -ks <your id>, to make sure it's
signed by yourself (preventing forged keyid's from being added to your
key..)

If you use gpg as I suggest, this will be a non-issue because gpg always
self-signs keys.  =>
