I'd be utterly shocked if even 30% of maintainers are checking |
| 9 |
upstream gpg keys when doing new releases. I'm sure it happens |
| 10 |
sometimes. |

I'd suggest adding it to the DCO when we actually have a DCO, though |
| 13 |
that doesn't actually ensure that anybody follows it. And the wording |
| 14 |
would have to be careful since not all upstreams even sign their |
| 15 |
releases at all, and if they do many/most maintainers probably haven't |
| 16 |
personally verified the keys. I certainly haven't met the upstream |
| 17 |
developers of any of the packages I maintain in-person - I haven't |
| 18 |
even met another Gentoo dev in-person. |
