I can confirm that. That's how I can upload, as keyring maintainers
ignored my desired UID when importing my key into the DM keyring so I
rely on the name for matching an upload with a key ID. That said, this
seems a fragile setting to me, generally speaking.

Should be so. Either that, or you become DD where rules are more
flexible. ;-)

As long as either your name or your UID matches, you are fine. That
said, I am not sure how exactly the key transition works for DMs. I
could be wrong, but I think there is no automated update or a DM's
keyring.
