page, it
says it's sent me an email, but I never receive it. I've tried
changing
the address to which my tjrc1@debian.org address forwards, and
still no
joy. I've tried it again today. Can you poke around in the logs

find out why these mails are never getting to me?
Could you contact me on irc so we can figure out which problem you
were running
into? Chances are good that your mail failed to go trough the
minimal PGP check
which is done by exim now.
Tim said he never even received the challenge mail. That's unlikely
to
be caused by the PGP check on the advocate@ address.
I am having PGP problems as well, though. I thought I'd done the
appropriate cross-signing now, and uploaded my key to the Debian
keyserver, but it looks like my reply to the advocacy message has
failed the key checking:
You tried to approve the application of a New Maintainer (NM)
applicant.
However, there were problems with the verification of your GPG
signature.
Error: Unable to check the signature or the signature was invalid:
==> Message Error: GPG execution failed 6782
Python Stack Trace:
<module> ./gpgwrapper:149: raise Error, Res[0];
So I'm a bit confused now about what more I can do. I did the
signature check that Peter told me about a couple of weeks ago, and
uploaded the new public key. Perhaps it hasn't made its way into the
keyring package yet.
Regards,
Tim
