I was going to say it would be nice if there was a month or two advance notice, but looking at the bug log, it seems this is only due to the first run of this being just before my key was due to expire, and the idea is there would normally be two or three months notice? If so, perfect! > If you like this service, please leave a favorable comment here [2]. Thank > you! It's very good, thank you very much! FWIW, I would have expected MIA to be contacted for anyone who's key is expired for more than a few months. (Also, couldn't anyone write a script to synchronise the keyservers for expiring keys? Step 1: get a list of Debian keys that will expire in the next 6 months; Step 2: download them from any key servers; Step 3: if any of them have an updated expiry date, export and send to Debian's keyserver. No need to be keyring-maint or have the secret key for any of those steps. Could sync for new sigs as well, but that might get tedious) Cheers, aj
