FWIW some other people have expressed procedure concerns on this
topic, I am not repeating them.

We (keyring-maint) do keep an Emeritus keyring. Given it is not really
_used_, I had not checked its real status in a long time, but now I
must really take off my hat towards Jonathan - It is quite well
maintained.

It used to be a very large directory:

    https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/keyring/keyring.git/tree/emeritus-keyring-gpg?id=f6293ba7d7c4e775b3b83185e66da41f4765721f

But since Jonathan removed short keys in it (as they are keys we will
never use again and should no longer consider trusted), it became way
smaller. Current view:

    https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/keyring/keyring.git/tree/emeritus-keyring-gpg

Anyway, we could continue to receive updates for and process the
Emeritus' keyring, if any person in it was interested in doing so... I
doubt it would be the case. We can also produce that keyring together
with our updates if any infrastructure were to use it.

I have a feeling it would mostly be over-engineering, though. Keeping
the mail alias working "forever" sounds right, but I expect that any
mail update requests would still end up in a human to implement.
