Some older Fedora signing keys were signed by prominent Fedora persons (up to F12 or so). If one has been to at least one Fedora key signing party and has a WOT connection to one of thos persons, using the WOT is the best ways to verify the keys one downloads from the web. It would be great if we could resurrect this practice and have one or more RelEng members and the Fedora Project Leader sign the Fedora PGP keys and upload their signatures to public keyservers. Signature chaining (F24 key signed by F23, etc..) would also be helpful.
