Sorry I didn't explain it very well.
1) People share keys across different projects.
2) We've found PRIVATE keys on our servers
3) We have no reason to believe private keys that can authenticate to
Fedora weren't on some of the compromised systems we've heard so much
about.
You have to remember, lots of our contributors aren't highly technical.
Some don't even know what a private key is. They just follow the docs on
the website and get access to contribute. Not everyone is a packager.
