25 If the council can decide what a recommended spec should be. That would
26 be great.
27
28 There are 23 devs that have errors in ldap for their gpg keys.
29 Most of them have not done anything to fix it. I believe partially
30 because this whole gpgkey thing is in flux. See the logs from the
31 generation of the gpgkey developers.seeds file [1].
32
33 We can create/debug the tools needed. Devs will be free to upgrade,
34 create new as needed manually if they wish. Helping to get the docs
35 cleaned up and easy to follow. The enforcement of the new spec can be
36 done later when the tools are in place. But in the meantime some
37 progress is bound to be made.
