18 We are somewhat limited in the amount that we can verify "identity."
19 Sure you can get a decent web of trust from signing the keys of people
20 you've met at conferences, however, there will be people outside of that
21 web. What we need to verify is rather that the person who made the
22 commit is someone who is authorized to make the commit and that it was
23 in no way tampered with.
