gpgsigs never pretended to support the scripts used to compile the
DebConf KSP, so I'm lowering the severity to ‘wishlist’ :-P

This won't work with keys having a UID starting with a bracket-enclosed
value, for instance “[abc] def”. Using /^uid {11}.{10} (.*)$/ does seem
to work with 2.2.9, but looks rather brittle hence I'm reluctant to use
that. IMHO the right fix is to use `--list-options no-show-uid-validity`
when compiling the list, I'll talk to Gunnar about that. (UID validity
doesn't make sense in that context, because that's either the calculated
validity of the organizer, or “[unknown ]” if the dedicated GNUPGHOME
was used.) That's what gpgparticipants(1) does, for what's it's worth.
Note that you can use `gpgsigs --refresh` to ignore the UID list found
in the input document, by the way. (You'll need to download all keys,
but it's required to sign them anyway so it shouldn't be a burden.)
See you at DebConf, I guess :-)
Cheers,
