Simplest solution: Make a new key, get it signed by a developer, and send
it to probably James(? I'm not sure who else does keyring maintenance
these days) and ask him to add it to the keyring. Your name's Peter, not
Karl, so I assume that I probably don't need to repeat that, but I will
anyway: You NEED to get the new key signed by another developer before
it'll be accepted.
I believe keyring.debian.org allows updates, but not additions. (I assume
anyway that it does not allow additions, though it just let me update my
key - this message reminded me to update my key with this email address..)
