Hi all,

This came up while discussing the current set of releases with the new/returning release managers.

The official ASF recommendation is a single KEYS file under https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/
(source https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tomcat/)

We have multiple KEYS files one level down. i.e., Tomcat 10, Tomcat 9, etc.

First question is are we happy with having multiple KEYS files one level down?
On the plus side, it means smaller KEYS files.
On the down side, it means a little more management may be required.

+1 to separate KEYS files

Personally, I like the one level down approach. It means we don't have to have an every growing KEYS file which for a project the age of Tomcat is a good thing.

The second question (assuming we are happy with the one level down approach) is do we want to clean-up some/all of the existing KEYS files?
This would mean aligning:
- https://downloads.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-X/KEYS file
- the KEYS file in the release branch in the source repo
- the list of RMs for that specific branch (or sub-project)

I'd be happy to see this alignment happen but it isn't particularly high up my list of priorities at the moment.

+1 for cleaning-up the KEYS files.
