I hate to say this, but I don't think this is technically interesting or
really all that difficult to do.  A patch could be written very easily,
even by you, to implement something like this and submit it as a bug.

I think a request like this should go to the regular arch mailing list.

My old gpg key expired, the new one is available from keyservers.  I was
stupid enough not to realize this before it was too late, so I am not
able to sign my new key with my old key.  If this assurance isn't enough,
please contact me.
