Key consistency checks

This requirement has been approved by Pierre-Elliott Bécue <peb@debian.org> 1 week, 2 days ago.

This process has been approved by peb on 2024-09-01: no further modifications are possible.

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 2024-08-04:
During Cambridge Mini-DebConf 2023, I met David Heidelberg. We worked at the same company in different time, so we spent some time together, this has developed into a friendly relation of trust.
I was able to share time with David again at DebConf24 and he also told me that took part of DebConf23.

David has been doing upstream software project contributions, such:
- - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commits/main?search=David+Heidelberg
- - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=author&q=David+Heidelberg
- - https://salsa.debian.org/dh

David Heidelberg sent mails using the email address david@ixit.cz
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work and
email using a GPG key with fingerprint D77A 09CF EEDC 2BBD 53A7  0474 6002 3FC4 D349 2072.

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 David Heidelberg as they
present themselves on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
david@ixit.cz and GPG key D77A 09CF EEDC 2BBD 53A7  0474 6002 3FC4 D349 2072.

I have told David may need to show more contributions to join the project, which he acknowledged, but we leave to your consideration if he can get assigned an application manager to become a DD (in the upcoming months or years).

For nm.debian.org, at 2024-08-21:
For the past 2 years, I have worked with David Heidelberg on
webp-pixbuf-loader.

For this past work, David Heidelberg sent mails using the email address
david@ixit.cz which is the one he’s using on nm.debian.org, and he signed
his work and email using a GPG key with fingerprint
D77A 09CF EEDC 2BBD 53A7  0474 6002 3FC4 D349 2072.

I've made sure that his is able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that he’s able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that David Heidelberg
as he presents himself on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
david@ixit.cz and GPG key D77A 09CF EEDC 2BBD 53A7  0474 6002 3FC4 D349 2072.

I also support David Heidelberg <david@ixit.cz>'s request to become a
Debian Maintainer. I have worked with David Heidelberg on his package
and I consider his as having sufficient technical competence.

During our interactions regarding his work on webp-pixbuf-loader in recent
times, I rarely needed to contribute anything, and I was generally happy with
his work as it was, and uploaded it with no changes.

I also know David is passionate about Debian (and free software in general),
he’s attended DebConf and MiniDebConfs, he’s becoming a more active member of
the community.

I have personally worked with David Heidelberg <david@ixit.cz>
(key D77A09CFEEDC2BBD53A7047460023FC4D3492072) for 2 years, and I know David Heidelberg
can be trusted to have upload rights for their own packages, right now.
