Procedural requirements for restoring kernel.org accounts

Hi all,

In addition to Greg's points, we have had some problems with the way
some people submitting keys.

1. Please send your key fingerprints to <keys@xxxxxxxxxx> (the former
temporary address <keys@xxxxxxxxx> now forwards to this address.)

In particular, keys sent to any other address including privately to
me or John will not be processed. Keys are being processed by John
in batches to manage the workload.

2. Make sure your keys are uploaded to pgp.mit.edu (directly or
indirectly) before you send them.

3. Make sure there is an encryption subkey associated with your key!
If your key is a sign-only key you need an encryption key signed
with your signing key; please give both fingerprints in the request.

4. If there is no signing path back to the kernel.org team people then
please work with your fellow developers, co-workers etc. to obtain
such a link. If nothing possible sooner, there will be key signings
at KS and LCE which are less than two weeks away.
