I commit changes to a local repo behind a couple of firewalls

That information is mostly useless.
I do have a signed public mirror of the repository which any

commits.

URL's are not what would be needed.
The information that is required could possibly be couched
like so (RFC 2822 field folding) (for flex in stable)

Hmm. This still does not provide a pointer to my archive gpg key.
