Ah. Presumably this means my current key no longer works and has been revoked. I had been reading the emails assuming that I was likely OK as a new committer, and not really understanding what all these acronyms meant. I guess I'll need to get around to redoing my keys as well... In future cases like this, it might be worth publishing a list of who is affected and changing the docs *before* making the change :-) Paul _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
