I did a new brief analysis of the Debian keyring to see how big the strongly connected set of keys is at the moment, just before the big keysigning at DebConf3. The results are at http://liw.iki.fi/liw/debian/
It would be good to have all keys in the Debian keyring in a strongly connected set, i.e., so that there is a signature path from every key to every other key in the keyring. This is probably impossible in practice, but it would be good to be as close as possible. Also, it helps to have the signature paths as short as possible. This also improves the quality of the web of trust. At the moment, the big strongly connected set has a median path length of five and a longest shortest path between any two keys of twelve. -- Enemies of Carlotta 1.0 mailing list manager: http://liw.iki.fi/liw/eoc/
