Hi Phil, (and Petr),
The plan is to have a single key for signing software that is easily
manageable across colleagues with such responsibilities.
Most of the pieces are already in place but we need some final
coordination to activate the new system.
I am not sure about running our own WKD but I can of course bring the
suggestion to the table.
Best regards,
-- Yorgos
