Indeed, Chip also asked the DPL (team) about this repeatedly, and in my humble opinion, a bit impatiently, requesting response times disproportional to the issue at hand -- the key was presumed compromised since at least June (when the story hit slashdot), but yet keyring-maint was to the best of my knowledge contacted no earlier than October to get a replacement key in. I was asked by Branden to look into this, but before I actually came around to really contact James Troup, after verifying proper procedures were followed in the first place, Chip already resigned. Because I didn't at that time and don't at present perceive any problem with keyring-maint, I didn't want to bother James at all w.r.t. this question. After all, as far as I can briefly see, the last >2 week gap between keyring updates was a year ago, no updates between 25 Feb and 18 Mar 2005. Such track record is actually quite impressive.
