Evaluating term limits for root key holders

Open asraa opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Description

We currently have 5 stable root keyholders. Do we want to either (1) Create a tool that files an issue that alerts on some time limit? (2) Create a dashboard like tool for the term keyholders? (3) Do it ad-hoc.

This may also be relevant for evaluating term limits on other signing keys, e.g. if we support delegations.

My two cents are we have good diversity of root keyholders in terms of company/academic affiliations. I'd say having a yearly reminder to ask all root keyholders if they are still interested would be reasonable. Additionally if anyone from the community asks to be a keyholder, maybe then we remove the oldest keyholder?
