There is a certificate 8352E32F03C2DFEC with your name on it in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/pgpkeys.git/. I guess that's
the one you lost access to? There is another certificate
715C3D35C5CE1009 that is not in that keyring which has the email address
you're still using; or is it that one?

I guess we should delete 8352E32F03C2DFEC, and ideally Doug Ledford
should revert their signature on it? (There are two more weak signatures
by Christoph Hellwig and Martin K. Petersen that are probably not worth
handling.)

I recommend using an expiry date on your new key and joining
https://lore.kernel.org/all/lpcosse2026-keysigning@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ to get
signatures on it if you're in Prague for LPC and/or OSSummit.

Best regards
Uwe
