Hmm.

This is signed using a completely new key.

That part is fine: the new key is 4k bits instead of the old 1k key.

But the new key is signed by absolutely nothing - not even the old key.

That makes the new key entirely pointless, and I'm not going to pull
from a github account with absolutely nothing to show that it's the
saem Corey Minyard.

Can you please at least self-sign with your old key?

Because even if you *yourself* don't trust the new key, why should I do so?
