There are various things that can be done with respect to key management.
Personally, I would not go with a single key. But maven ought to maintain a
trust file, with options to accept files that are signed with a trusted key,
or signed by a key that is signed by a trusted key, etc. The first thing
that has to happen is for the Maven PMC to make security a priority.
