With respect to GPG keys, I did what the GNU Maintainer Guide
(https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.txt) told me to do, which
is to upload it to Savannah. The guide says...
2. In the 'My Account Conf' page on 'savannah', upload the GPG key (in
ASCII-armored format) that you will use to sign your packages. If
you haven't created one before, you can do so with the command 'gpg
--gen-key' (you can accept and/or confirm the default answers to
its questions). Then, to get the ASCII-armored version, run 'gpg
--export --armor YOUR_KEY_ID'."
But it also lists the following step, which maybe is what you guys
are talking about. I didn't to it because it says it is optional
Optional but recommended: Send your key to a GPG public key server:
'gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --send-keys KEYID', where KEYID is
the eight hex digits reported by 'gpg --list-public-keys' on the
'pub' line before the date. For full information about GPG, see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/gpg>.
So is that not optional then?
