Hello, this cleanup series removes 5 keys and one subkey that expired in 2024. Also a key that was revoked in 2020 is dropped. None of the removed keys is part of trust paths to other keys, so there is no effect on the remaining keys. I suggest to not apply this series straight away to give the affected owners the chance to extend the expiry date of their keys and replace them accordingly. A bit orthogonal to this series: It is usually recommended to have an expiry date on PGP keys. Most keys (472 of now 620) don't have an expiry date, I wonder if that would be sensible to require at least for new keys added to the keyring. The upside would be that we don't trust keys that are already long abondoned. E.g. Gentoo requires that for the keys that are relevant for the project[1]. Currently there are 5 more keys contained in the keyring that expired in 2025: 0AA04DC735ACE2B5.asc Bothersome Borer <[email protected]> 4C3262CBD285EB87.asc Confounding Cockroach <[email protected]> A16F9AB80CB2D395.asc Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> Frank Rowand <[email protected]> BD6A501CB78B7C26.asc Jacek Anaszewski <[email protected]> Jacek Anaszewski <[email protected]> E7F85821938ABF6F.asc Aggravating Aphid <[email protected]> These are the only keys left that (obviously) don't have a valid trust path from Linus' key.
