I can't stop anybody anyway, I can only point out problems, hoping
that people will understand and think about how the problem could
be solved.  However, I wonder if I should really give up thinking
that people will actually read...

Right.

But only if he starts working in a way the description makes me
assume it will not be compatible with the problem.

But ok, if you want him to do useless work.  I can't stop him
anyway.

However, if it should be useful (though, my definition of usefullness
applies) and lead to an updated keyring.debian.org in the long term,
the description makes me assume that it won't be a result.  But hey,
it's not my time.  So just go on.

Useful work, not useless work.
