Yes, since that defies the purpose of the signature. |

|

Yes if the signature was made after expiration. (Dont know if that is even |
| 10 |
possible.) |
| 11 |
No if the signature was made while the key was valid. (Otherwise our whole |
| 12 |
portage tree would time out at some point.) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
> - keys are revoked [3] |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Yes. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
> - keys are not listed in userinfo.xml (current or former devs) [4] |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Yes. |
| 21 |
However, for the former devs we might need an extra list to prevent |
| 22 |
"expiration on retirement", and treat the keys as if they expired on |
| 23 |
retirement date (compare above). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Does that make sense? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Of course now we can add additional requirements: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* The key must have an userid that refers to an official Gentoo e-mail |
| 30 |
address. E.g. dilfridge@g.o |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Very important and easily implemented. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* The userid should have some specific "default string" in its comment field, |
| 35 |
like "Gentoo manifest signing key". |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Not so important but also easily implemented. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* The key should be signed by some central instance for automated validity |
| 40 |
check. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Here things get hairy. How about having recruiter/infra team sign a dev's key |
| 43 |
on completion of the recruitment process? Just a first thought... |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
* The central instance should be able to reliably revoke a key. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Add a revocation list in a portage tree directory? Or is this just shooting |
| 48 |
yourself into the foot backwards through the eye? |
| 49 |
