Obtaining private key

[Thomas Grzybowski <thomasgrzybowski@protonmail.com>]

Hi, I'm trying to compile some packages on my own, using the Debian dak (with postgresql) tool for the local repository. I had a bit of trouble installing dak, but got it working.

Now, following the instructions in the dak READme, I see: import some developer keys.

Either import from keyservers (here AAAAAAAA):: # gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /srv/dak/keyrings/upload-keyring.gpg --recv-key AAAAAAAA

or import from files:: # gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /srv/dak/keyrings/upload-keyring.gpg --import /path/to/keyfile

So, if I understand this correctly,  I need a private key from a developer in order to compile packages with this tool?   (probably other tools as well).   My question is:  how do I obtain such a key?  Does someone here volunteer a key or is there a process?

Thanks much,
