DudeS, there is already _4_ keyrings. [If you don't belive me, have a look
at /usr/share/doc/debian-keyring/README.gz ;]
We are speaking about adding a 5th keyring to debian, for example for the
NM, or more generally for people not in the main keyring for a reason, but
which key may have a place on Debian for some reason.
Of course I was not asking to go in the main keyring without going through
the NM process, and being allowed to vote, upload packages, log on
servers...

Yes, thanks for the advice. I'm the kind of guy who forgets always that
d-d is for developers, and that all members have to be (said) developer, but
that d-d is not for the dicussion about the project as a whole... Sorry.
Thanks for your time, Mt.
