Hi, Nicolas, and other SOC people.
Hi, fellow keyring-mainters,

I have been trying to get some interesting data out of doing
historical analysis of our keyring, as well as adding some health
checks on it, getting some indicators, maybe see whether we are
heading in the right direction or there is something we are missing. I
have been quite short on time, so my work has slept for months.

I am targetting getting two kinds of output: On one side, something
useful for Debian, both as documentation regarding our practices and
the aforementioned keyring health indicators. On the other side, I
want to get some publishable results; for that, I have been working a
bit with people at my universities (on one, I am a teacher, on the
other, I'm a graduate student). But any extra pair of hands and eyes,
plus a keen set of neurons linking them together, might prove very
useful.

I have not shared much of my work even with keyring-maint itself; I
have at least one script that does interesting work, but is soooooo
slow and suboptimal I'm rather interested in rewriting it from
scratch. Anyway, I do have two bits of (very preliminary) output that
can show approximately where I want this to be heading (both in
Spanish, covering very similar work):

- Poster presented at a local conference: "Strengthening the web of
  trust in a geographically distributed project' (oct 2015)
  http://ru.iiec.unam.mx/2767/

- Corresponding presentation; very similar contents, in a presentation
  format, as well as a (partly cut :-( ) video are available at
  https://congreso.seguridad.unam.mx/2015/conferencia/fortalecimiento-del-llavero-de-confianza-en-un-proyecto-geogr%C3%A1ficamente-distribuido

So, if you think this is SOC material, I'll be happy to explain where
I want to head next.
