On behalv of Alec, I'm resending his transistion statement. We couldn't
convince Alec's MUA to stop modifying the transistion statement and
invalidating the signatures.
Hoperfully his signatures will checkout now...
Original transistion statement from Alec:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Date: May 13, 2022
I'm currently in the process of becoming a Debian Maintainer, which
requires me to have a key with at least 4096 bits. Since my current key
is based on just 2048 bits, I have created a new 4096-bits and will
transition to use this instead of my old one.
The old key will continue to be valid for some time, but I prefer all
future correspondence to come to the new one. I would also like this
new key to be re-integrated into the web of trust. This message is
signed by both keys to certify the transition.
The old key was:
pub rsa2048 2015-10-08 [SC] [expires: 2022-10-05]
C145797379871C082A9DFDB50A1DA7134E068B4C
And the new key is:
pub rsa4096 2022-05-12 [SC] [expires: 2023-05-12]
E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C
To fetch the new full key from a public key server, you can simply do:
gpg --keyserver keys.riseup.net --recv-key \
E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C
If you already know my old key, you can now verify that the new key is
signed by the old one:
gpg --check-sigs E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C
If you don't already know my old key, or you just want to be double
extra paranoid, you can check the fingerprint against the one above:
gpg --fingerprint E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C
If you are satisfied that you've got the right key, and the UIDs match
what you expect, I'd appreciate it if you would sign my key. You can
do that by issuing the following command:
**
NOTE: if you have previously signed my key but did a local-only
signature (lsign), you will not want to issue the following, instead
you will want to use --lsign-key, and not send the signatures to the
keyserver
**
gpg --sign-key E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C
I'd like to receive your signatures on my key. You can either send me
an e-mail with the new signatures (if you have a functional MTA on
your system):
gpg --export E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C | \
gpg --encrypt -r E2EA41DCE2F8A99AD17A1E463A67D5D966D15C5C --armor | \
mail -s 'OpenPGP Signatures' leamas.a...@gmail.com
Additionally, I highly recommend that you implement a mechanism to keep your key
material up-to-date so that you obtain the latest revocations, and other updates
in a timely manner. You can do regular key updates by using parcimonie[1] to
refresh your keyring. Parcimonie is a daemon that slowly refreshes your keyring
from a keyserver over Tor. It uses a randomized sleep, and fresh tor circuits
for each key. The purpose is to make it hard for an attacker to correlate the
key updates with your keyring.
I also highly recommend checking out:

Please let me know if you have any questions, or problems, and sorry
for the inconvenience.
