11 2004.2 is signed with a nice new <releng@g.o> key, keyid 17072058,
12 but unfortunately that key itself isn't signed by anyone at all, such
13 that I could trace the web of trust from my own key to it.

15 For example, PGP Pathfinder sees multiple paths from my 8A560A4E to your
16 27ED2046, but nothing for the last hop from 27ED2046 to 17072058.
17 Ideally the Gentoo people who know the key to be legitimate would have
18 put their signatures to it.
