The effort however is also very low, it's just:
gpg --import revoked.asc
{
gpg --list-options show-notations,no-show-uid-validity --with-subkey-fing=
erprints --list-key C52D7AFE85F25509;
gpg -a --export --allow-weak-digest-algos --allow-weak-key-signatures --e=
xport-options export-attributes,export-clean C52D7AFE85F25509;
} > keys/C52D7AFE85F25509.asc
git commit -m 'Add revoked key C52D7AFE85F25509 (Lorenzo Stoakes)' keys/C52=
D7AFE85F25509.asc
Distributing the revokation also has the advantage that if someone
wonders why they see an attestation from Lorenzo using a new key, the
revokation gives a good additional indication that the new key is
legitimate.
Best regards
Uwe
