Thank you for your report.  I found a bug that was preventing the
project group keyring from being created properly.  It should be
fixed, so please let me know if you have any further problems.

In response to your suggestions:

1) I agree, we should write some good instructions.
2) I hope to have the system sending feedback to project admins after
any successful or unsuccessful upload soon.

Thank you for those as well.
