The same way you keep your PGP key secure.  Don't Share.

I'd suggest Web-of-Trust.  Either internal to freenet or using PGP
keyservers.  Sign a .JAR with a short-expiration key (on the order of
weeks or months)  Sign that key with Ian's key.  (Cross signed with
Oskar, Matthew, etc)  Now we have a distribution key, known to one
person (The "distribution officer") with a short duration.

It's not perfect (losing Ian breaks it) but we're not completly
dependant on the security AND availablity of fp.o.
