[arch-dev-public] Master key holders response time
We have an issue with the response time of master key holders. Currently there are two new TUs that have not had their key signed by three master key holders. Bug date: 2015-11-18 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47111 4B1D E545 A801 D454 9BFD 3FEF 90CB 3D62 C13D 4796 Not signed: Ionut, Dan, Pierre Bug date: 2015-10-14 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46710 50F3 3E2E 5B0C 3D90 0424 ABE8 9BDC F497 A4BB CC7F Not signed: Ionut, Dan, Pierre There is four other bugs open with keys that have not been signed by Dan. The response time for Ionut was brought up earlier in the year [1] and was rectified at the time, but there has been limited (or no?) activity since. This completely unfair on the trusted users involved. I understand that people are busy, but it should not take more than a week to sign a key once it has been verified. We also need more than Thomas verifying the keys (I am at fault there too). Is it time to cycle our key holders? There are some good candidates that have been around here for multiple years and are very active still. Allan [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2015-February/026975.h...
Thank you, Allan. -- Pierre Neidhardt

I vote yes. It should only be natural to step down from the responsibilities one does not anymore have the time to assume. Simply because that is in the best interests of the distro. This also includes orphaning some packages on archweb, announcing temporary inactivity, or asking to become a fellow. Many of us have consistently been doing that, and I consider it a drag for our distro that some do not. -- Gaetan

I agree. We should start introducing one new master key as soon as possible so it is spread to our users before we decide to revoke an old key.
