You are indirectly saying, that I am mistaken: in fact there _are_ other true
keyservers remain, that are working reliably now and ready to publish your
revocation certificate. Well, thatʼs more than plausible¹. So please, do not
keep that info secret!
But please note, that ‘reliably’ is an important word here. I am aware, that
many SKS-running servers are considering themselves functional (and that they
are dissynchronized with Honeypuck-running keyserver.ubuntu.com for now too).
But I feel not at ease to suggest to use any server, that fails due to timeout
most of time, to a man, who had come here to ask “how to reset a passphrase”.

¹ For instance, I assume, that https://peegeepee.com may be, but it does not
seem to be much used, so itʼs hard to be sure.
