There is already an extensive Debian web of trust, and along with
it a keysigning coordination effort and even a long list of
Debian developers who offer to sign keys, with their physical
locations and email addresses:
        http://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Offers

I wonder whether either effort would benefit from joining forces?
I am also sure that there is overlap between Debian developers
and kernel developers.
