That's probably me (tialaramex).

Anyway, if it is me you're referring to, I suggested using the private
keys to issue a bogus CSR. CSRs are signed, proving that whoever made
them had the corresponding private key but they avoid the confusion
that comes from DigiCert (or its employees) issuing bogus certs.
Everybody reading m.d.s.policy can still see that a self-signed cert is
harmless and not an attack, but it may be harder to explain in a
soundbite. Maybe more technically able contributors disagree ?
