After thinking about this for a time, I'd rather suggest to completely
remove the feature "Display untrusted keys".

It is misleading; it doesn't do what it promises: to show "trusted"
keys. Trusted keys are "valid" keys. Instead, the filter works on
"Ownertrust".

Varying ownertrust of a specific key doesn't make this key more or less
trustworthy. Instead, the ownertrust value of a specific key influences
the weight, by which certifications done by this key are regarded in
trust calculations for OTHER keys.

For me, suppressing the view of all keys I haven't assigned an
ownertrust value doesn't give any value.

I can't set an ownertrust on a key when I haven't met this person in
real life and judged how carefully his person does identity+key
fingerprint checks. This would ideally be done by judging how this
person did check MY identity and fingerprint. In this case, we would
have exchanged certifications on each others key.

What I'd regard as useful: A function which only displays keys I have
signed AND which have not set an ownertrust value. This would be a
reminder to do that.
