Thanks.

So: tag2upload's key became ostensibly trusted by dak on Saturday, and
no-one on the FTP Team informed the tag2upload Delegates of this fact.

We found out because the DPL wrote saying "everything is done, right?"
two days later, and I replied saying "huh, don't think so?", and Philipp
kindly let me know that in fact a deployment had occurred.

This is a highly unprofessional way for FTP Team members to be
interacting with (or, failing to interact with) another delegated team.

We should have been invited to perform testing by the FTP Team.  Indeed,
I just tried a test upload of dgit-test-dummy, and it was REJECT'd with
a strange error message.

Should we file a bug against ftp.debian.org?  Just write an e-mail?
We have no open channel of communication, despite our best efforts.

Let me note, nevertheless, my thanks to Ansgar for the technical work
he's done over the past two weeks.
