Compromised GPG key means something else. It means that you have a valid
signature for a package made with a genuine Fedora packager's key. But not
made by the Fedora packager. You won't recognize a compromised key by checking
the signatures.

You probably wanted to write a compromised dist-git account. In that case the
GPG signature would help.
