In https://ftp-master.debian.org/dm.txt behind each package, there's a
fingerprint between parenthesis. This fingerprint is the fingerprint
of the key who signed the addition of the DM right. So if you can map
that back to a name, then you're good.
There's some code doing that already with the help of the GPG keyring
that we have configured, see verify_signature() in
distro_tracker/core/utils/__init__.py (in particular
ctx.get_key(...)).
Cheers,
