I felt the same way. It was not what I was expecting when I first
turned it on. I also wanted a list of keys I had signed more than I
wanted a list of keys I had decided to trust to validate other keys I
had not signed.

If there was another view option "Display Unsigned Signed Keys" then I
would have started there and "Display Trusted Keys" would have stood
out as something different than signed. Still trust seems a little
overloaded. On the other hand "Display Non-Owner-Trusted Keys" is a
bit long and still makes a strange view filter case.

If I found any value in that filter it is significantly less than the
value of adding a filter to see only keys I've signed.

I don't see how to sort that out of the list without viewing each key
and viewing signatures once ownertrust calculations come in to play. A
column indicating if I signed a key and perhaps the date I signed it
would also be valuable.

Replacing Display untrusted keys with Display unsigned keys would be a
nice start.

That would be very nice, similar to what gpg --update-trustdb does,
only for all signed but untrusted keys. Some kind of unobtrusive
reminder to run it would be nice too.
