Well, you haven't shown any sign of having studied the publically available documentation or checked the public archives relating to the design decisions. Yes it's the debian-security mailing list, but that doesn't mean that it's scalable for debian to provide a personal walkthrough of the entire package signing architecture for everyone who sends an email to the list, does it?
