If you are thinking of sq-keyring-linter, that won't help here.  This
is not a SHA-1 issue.

The issue (I think) is that the anydesk maintains were too aggressive
in what they striped when they exported the OpenPGP certificate.  They
probably ran: `gpg --export --export-options export-minimal
FINGERPRINT`.  According to the gpg manual page, that does:

```
     export-minimal
          Export the smallest key possible.  This removes all signatures
          except the most recent self-signature on each user ID. This
          option is the same as running the '--edit-key' command
          "minimize" before export except that the local copy of the key
          is not modified.  Defaults to no.
```

This makes sense when sharing an OpenPGP certificate via email, say,
so that someone can (in the future) send you an encrypted message.
But it doesn't make sense when sending the certificate to someone who
should then verify past signatures, which is the case here.
