This is a very overdue notification - I lost access to the signing key that existed in this file in a hard drive failure on my laptop. It was some time in August last year.
So obviously this needs some consideration from a security POV.
As I saw it happen in "real time" (and, you're going to laugh, but it literally was a case of coffee spilled on a laptop), I'm not in any doubt about the fact that it is lost (I tried to retrieve it in the succeeding hours, but failed), nor do I have any realistic worry that it was somehow compromised and accessed by anyone else - the chance of such a thing is never 0, but the point is it is not higher than previous to the accident. Of course, access to my code signing key would only allow code signing, the key has no other security significance. So obviously if you do see code signed or anything else signed with that key after August 2024 do not trust it and also alert me! (But, it's not going to happen).
I have a new key, but, to state clearly what is probably by now obvious, I don't have any intention, currently, of continuing contributions to the Joinmarket project. So the new code signing key isn't added here.
Equally, if people need my support in changing the status of the project, for example, adding new contributors commit rights, don't hesitate to ask.
