If you don't want to read the rant, skip to the bottom where I volunteer to help....

Nobody's going to volunteer to do them if nobody knows *what they are*. On the other hand, if he publicized what he needed, I promise he'd get volunteers writing code almost immediately. *This* is what's wrong with James's communication skills. Apparently it's also a problem with the *DPL*, who could equally well have publicized the same needed changes. --- Anyway, thank you for finally describing the issues (in http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2006/03/msg00275.html). If I could be pointed to the existing scripts for managing debian-keyring.gpg, I can start work on making them componentised, simple, obviously correct and secure, and fast. That sort of work is what I'm especially good at. I could start an alioth project for "keyring-manangement-scripts" if anyone else is interested in working on this.
