My key has been signed by a Debian Developer, but I am not DD yet. Would it help Arvid _now_, if I sign his key? I am in Göttingen nearly every weekend, this is not far from Clausthal, where Arvid (apparently) lives. I am pretty sure there a busses going from Clausthal to Göttingen, it is not more than 30-50 km, I guess (not sure, but certainly less than 100km). I do not own a car myself, so I cannot visit him. Clausthal is in a mountain region, that is why it is not easy to reach. I think it will help him at least as soon as I am DD.
