[openpgp] Call for adoption of draft-gallagher-openpgp-replacementkey

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[e-mail]>]

Hey OpenPGP folks--

This message starts a two-week adoption call for Daphne Shaw and Andrew
Gallagher's draft-gallagher-openpgp-replacementkey.  The call for
adoption will end on 2024-04-20.

This draft describes a way to signal an OpenPGP replacement key without
revoking the current key, which is intended to be a mechanism for
adoption of new versions or algorithms that might otherwise be difficult
to deploy:

Andrew Gallagher wrote a good description of the motivation and
mechanism in the draft here:

Please review the draft and consider whether you support its adoption by
the WG.  Please share any thoughts with the list to indicate support or
opposition -- this is not a vote.

If you are willing to provide a more in-depth review, please state it
explicitly to give the chairs an indication of the energy level in the
working group willing to work on the document.

WG adoption is the start of the process.  The fundamental question is
whether you agree the proposal is worth the WG's time to work on and
whether this draft represents a good starting point.  If the WG
indicates interest, the WG as a whole will have change control over the
document, with the editors' role being to reflect the rough consensus of
the group.  The chairs are particularly interested in hearing the
opinion of people who are not authors/editors of the document.

All the best,

    --dkg
