Hello,

recently (2026-01-16) the subkeys (as tracked in the kernel pgpkeys
repo) of James Bottomley's key expired. He updated the expiry date,
however adding the updated key to the keyring brings some trouble to the
WoT as an update drops SHA1 protected signatures which (among others)
loses the direct signature from Linus to James.

However nobody falls out of the WoT by this, so I suggest to import the
changes without restoring the SHA1 stuff.

James' key is in DNS, so an update works as follows:

	gpg --locate-external-key --auto-key-locate clear,dane [email protected]
	gpg --export D5606E73C8B46271BEAD9ADF814AE47C214854D6 > /tmp/jbkey
	korg-update-pgpkeys /tmp/jbkey

Best regards
Uwe
