I fully agree with Norbert. You might argue that a developer who was
removed from the keyring could write a script and do some harm on all
git repositories in the debian group to take some "revenge" for becoming
expelled. I see no practival relevance for such a scenario. As far as
I understood Norberts case it was not intended to block him from
contributing - but removing his permissions on salsa made it very hard
for him to contribute.
I do not have any idea whether there is an easy technical implementation
for Norberts suggestion but I'm in favour of it.
Kind regards
Andreas.
