I'm not sure if this paranoia is disproportionate or overdue. Hope I
did it right (D1ADB8F1, signed by some other OzLabs folks).

Personally I would have thought that asking people to patch a gpg
fingerprint into MAINTAINERS is more kernely than web of trust. I'll
notice if someone else tries to patch their own in there.
