The main difference seems to be in the way the web of trust statistics
are presented.  In the FOSDEM files, we put them below the output from
gpg.  The Debian format puts a "rank" next to the name.

Another difference is that the German files are localized.

I haven't read through the whole history of this bug but ... would it
not make sense to distribute the organizing voodoo with caff?  Then
organizers could just "configure caff" for their keysigning parties.

Since as you point out everyone is already using caff to do their
signing homework, it's probably not much work to convince everyone
organizing keysigning parties to use caff (or the tools distributed
with caff) to create their lists of participants.

All the voodoo I use for the FOSDEM keysigning party is available on
github at <https://github.com/ppaeps/fosdem-keysigning>.  Feel free
to take that as a starting point.  Or not. :)

I have no strong views on what the list should look like.  But I do
think that the best place for the "canonical list format" is likely
the caff distribution.
