  3. 1032: Key consistency checks

Key consistency checks

This requirement looks incomplete.

This process has been closed by leamas on 2022-05-12: no further modifications are possible.

Potential problems

  • no UID found that fully satisfies requirements

Every Debian member needs a GPG key of sufficient strength. In addition, all keys should be certified so we can link them to a real-world identity.

The normal requirements are:

  • the key should be type RSA and version 4 or greater
  • the key should have the sign, certify and encrypt capabilities (subkeys are encouraged)
  • the primary cryptographic material should be at least 4096 bits
  • the UIDs used by an applicant to work in the project should be signed by at least two existing Debian members (1 for DM applications)
  • as an alternative to the previous requirement, the key can be endorsed (see link at the bottom of the page) by multiple Debian Members (the number of required endorsements depends on the endorsement's age and nature)
  • pseudonyms or anonymity are acceptable in certain circumstances

If the key does not meet these requirements, and you would struggle to create one which does, contact Front Desk.

Keys are first searched in hkps://keyring.debian.org. If no key is found, then the key will be imported from hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com/. Please ensure that you have sent your key to Ubuntu's key server. Sending public keys to keyring.debian.org will only work if your key is already in Debian's keyring and will only be taken into account after the Keyring Maintainers updated it. For Debian Maintainers and Developers, please remember to send your key to both servers.

This check will be approved manually by Front Desk as the application progresses.

For nm.debian.org, at 2022-05-13:
For the past 6 months, I have worked with Alec Leamas on libcxx-serial, opencpn, and lirc.

For this past work, Alec Leamas sent mails using the email address leamas.alec@gmail.com
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work using a GPG key
with fingerprint C145 7973 7987 1C08 2A9D FDB5 0A1D A713 4E06 8B4C.
They have created a stronger E2EA 41DC E2F8 A99A D17A  1E46 3A67 D5D9 66D1 5C5C for the
purpose of this NM process which is signed by the former key (signature available on
keyserver.ubuntu.com).

I've made sure that they are able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that they're able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Alec  Leamas as they
present themselves on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
leamas.alec@gmail.com and GPG key E2EA 41DC E2F8 A99A D17A  1E46 3A67 D5D9 66D1 5C5C.
Signed with key 2861 2573 17C7 AEE4 F880 497E C386 0AC5 9F57 4E3A

For nm.debian.org, at 2022-05-13:
For the past 20 months, I have worked with Alec Leamas on opencpn, libcxx-serial
and other packags.

As Alec's key, C145 7973 7987 1C08  2A9D FDB5 0A1D A713 4E06 8B4C was 
only a 2048 bit one, and therefore unsuitable for the DM process, he 
moved to his new key E2EA 41DC E2F8 A99A  D17A 1E46 3A67 D5D9 66D1 5C5C.
His transition statment is available on the debian-newmaint mailinglist 
with the Message-ID Yn5v5lYVUPdMazde@isildor.loewenhoehle.ip>, which
I have verified and I have no doubt that the old and new keys are Alec's.

For his past work, Alec Leamas sent mails using the email address leamas.alec@gmail.com
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work and
email using a GPG key with fingerprint C145797379871C082A9DFDB50A1DA7134E068B4C.

I've made sure that they are able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that they're able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Alec Leamas as they
