Sebb created INFRA-7039:
---------------------------

             Summary: keys-fetch.py does not handle V3 key fingerprints
                 Key: INFRA-7039
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7039
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Wish
         Environment: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site/trunk/people/keys-fetch.py
            Reporter: Sebb
            Priority: Minor


If an LDAP key entry uses V3 fingerprint, the key fetch process does not work.

This is because the server that is used - keys.gnupg.net - does not support v3 fingerprints.

As a temporary work-round, I have added a command-line option to load keys by id; this means finding the id which corresponds to the v3 fingerprint.

It is not possible to derive the id directly from a v3 fingerprint, so this requires a manual search, followed by manually adding the id.

It would be useful if V3 fingerprints were directly supported.

For example, maybe there is a GPG server that supports search by V3 fingerprint?
Alternatively, perhaps the manual search could be automated?
