I think the other features are worthwhile enough to work around this,
so I'd strongly suggest that this package have the key-uploading and
other secret-key requiring bits disabled by default, with strong
warnings about the security issues with uploading keys (and how they
should be marked as untrusted keys before uploading) in whatever
configuration file is used to actually enable them, as well as
end-user documentation. [It may already do that; I've never used this
plugin.]
