Dear mentors,I turn to you with this question: is there any procedure to persuade an individual to sign a key he promised to sign during a key-signing meeting? I refrain from mentioning specific names here, but here is what happened:
On October 7, I met a Debian developer in Tilburg, NL in an attempt to get acquainted and sign each other's keys. After some coffee and a decent conversation, exchanging business cards, and key fingerprints, we left and indicated that we will sign each other's keys. I signed his key as soon as I got home, the same day. My counterpart told me it could take a week or so. (pretty strange for a seasoned debian developer, but alright, I am happy to give someone the benefit of the doubt.
After 3 weeks I started to email him, no response. I tried this several times, even phoning him, but even though we are now more than 5 weeks down the road, still life signs.
Of course it could be anything, but I am starting to feel hoodwinked. Does this happen more often? Any recommendation from you?
Thanks for your advice. Regards Maarten
