Should be a pull request against the main repo for that. The
build-cleaner patches are likely most interesting, and dkg has some work
on it already. The last time I looked into it a number of the issues
we're seeing in build is related to cryptokit, and we likely should
discuss whether its time to dis-embed the library from the source (
https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/42/unbundle-cryptokit-sks-incompatible-with
) to begin with.

The 64 bit keyid references etc are not necessarily material, we use
those for internal identifiers anyways but don't display it in the
WebUI. One issue here is that people seem to put too much
trustworthiness in the keyservers to begin with, which they shouldnt. So
changes to the webui that gives the impression it is secure is a
malservice. People should download the public keyblocks and do their own
operations on them given their own trustdb/wot calculation rather than
relying on a third party that doen't provide a security assertion to
begin with.
