Anyway, you also used a *very* new subkey. Can you please mention it,
so that I don't then get taken by surprise when I find a key that was
used to sign this and I don't have it?

Yes, yes, I will download it anyway, but basically I want the pull
request to give me enough information that when I do the pull I'm not
surprised by the result.

That's why the shortlog and diffstat exists of course, but that "don't
surprise Linus" also covers things like "oh, and the tag will be
signed with a key you've never seen before".
