Yeah. But when I looked originally the interface showed '0 DD sigs' on the key even though I signed it some weeks/months ago. I guess the signed key was not uploaded to wherever nm.debian.org checks against, so I thought I'd try your fancy Endorsement UI. Then at some point yesterday the signed key was uploaded or you/the system checked the sigs so this did indeed become superfluous. nm.debian.org has got way better since I last intereacted. Good job. And the process appears to have dramatically sped up too. Looks like DM-ship can all be done in a day or two, rather than months. > I'll add some documentation on the submit endorsement page, but I hope > this clarifies it a bit for you! Yeah it would help to clarify when to sign (and where the sigs need to go to get recognised) vs. when to endorse. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
