alternately (or in addition?), we could use monkeysphere and the hkpms
gpg keyserver handler, which would let us trivially add extra hostnames
to each keyserver's certificate (an OpenPGP certificate, not X.509).

Those of us who run servers in the pool or who are interested in keeping
track of the players here could cross-verify each others' certificates,
and end users who know or are willing to rely on us could verify them
that way, while setting

   keyserver hkpms://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net

in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.

I'm happy to help people walk through those steps if they want, and if
people think that's a reasonable idea.

if people don't think it's a reasonable idea, i'd be interested to hear
the reasons for that too.

thanks for setting up the pool, kristian!
