=================== BUG #896: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=896&group_id=11
Submitted by: mpt Project: Savannah Submitted on: 2002-Jul-23 15:06 Category: Other Severity: 5 - Average Priority: None Bug Group: None Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Effort: 0.00 Summary: GPG key in account maintenance: whole key needed? Original Submission: (Using Category 'Other' since no 'User Admin'; hope that's OK). Is "GPG Key" section in Account Maintenance present so that other users can fetch my GPG key, or so that Savannah can send me mail using my GPG key, or both? -- If "GPG Key" is present so that other users can get my key, then I suggest replacing it with "GPG Fingerprint". After adding 3rd party signatures to my key I don't want to have to manually upload it to Web applications like Savannah. If the account information instead includes a fingerprint, people can fetch my key from a public keyserver and use the fingerprint to double-check it (not full verification, but to confirm a match between key-from-keyserver and desired-key-of-Savannah-user). -- If "GPG Key" is present so that Savannah itself can send me encrypted mail, then that purpose should be documented so that users know they don't need to keep their keys on Savannah up-to-date WRT sigatures.
