first step will be trying to recognize you, best would be if you get yourself a key that is already signed by some active DD who can say "this guy named Barry is the same guy that used to be known as bdefreese@d.o more than a decade ago".
And you'll have to go through the nm process again - at least to make sure you are aware of our updated procedures and new tools and policy that have been implemented since you went inactive.
Hi,
I have tried reaching out on a couple of the IRC channels and e-mailed
some people directly but I'm not having much luck. How do I go about
coming back and getting back in the keyring? I unfortunately didn't
ever update my key and my old key was removed (as it should have been).
If I need to run through the whole NM process again, that's fine, I
just need to know what I need to do.
Thank you,
Barry deFreese
