On https://savannah.gnu.org/project/admin/editgroupinfo.php
there is a block to "Update your keys in this input area" about updating
the GPG keys for a project. (I suggest adding "GPG" before "keys" in
that title to avoid anyone thinking it's about ssh keys.)

When adding a new key, is it necessary to upload the whole keyring
including all the old keys? Or will uploading the new key by itself
suffice, and Savannah will automatically merge it in?

Whatever the answer is, I suggest stating it on the page. Right now, the
fact that the input textarea includes all the keys sort of implies that
it should be all the keys, while the text "Insert *your* (ASCII) public
keys here" (my emphasis) sort of implies it can just be the new key.

And, if it has to be all the keys, it would be nice to link to
instructions for how to do it, that is, how to add a key to a .keyring
file independent of one's own personal ~/.gnupg stuff. Personally I
don't have the foggiest. All my attempts to run commands that operate
independently of ~/.gnupg have failed, so I've had to resort to
--homedir. Maybe that is indeed the only way. I don't know. --thanks, karl.
