Q: Why should we trust you?
A: Eh.. I guess that's a tough one. I guess I'm hoping to build trust as
described in the fedora.us /Package Submission QAPolicy/. Excerpt
follows. Is this sufficient or is there some standard method of
asserting one's trustworthiness that I'm not aware of?

"GPG clearsigned messages that give good advice can all be traced back
to your GPG key and accumulate over time. This process allows new
developers to gain trust through technical correctness and hard work
over a period of time, eventually being able to prove to the community
that the developer can be trusted."
