Yes.  This is nothing particularly exciting, but once in a while we
should do it.  I was even considering changing my GPG key, after a long
time.

Yes, if we do this we should setup a well-thought-out procedure, so that
everybody knows exactly what to do with each of the others, and what to
check.  I'm *not* a cryptography expert, and I'm sure many other aren't
either.  Does anybody know how to do such a thing?  I remember that the
system worked well at the Bristol GHM, where we were assigned indices
and given printed papers explaining every step.  I might still have the
paper from back then...  Found it.  But I only have the instructions I
got, not a script to generate the papers (every one got a different
one).

There is an introduction here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party

, and a howto here:

Does anybody volunteer to organize this?
