Have you noticed that the RPM Fusion GPG key as included in Livna's
rpmfusion-*-release packages is signed indirectly with the Livna GPG key
and the RPM package signature? You can run "rpm -Kv" on the downloaded
pkgs to check that manually. Example:

$ rpm -Kv rpmfusion-free-release-8-5.noarch.rpm 
rpmfusion-free-release-8-5.noarch.rpm:
    Header V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID a109b1ec
    Header SHA1 digest: OK (c14f7fdce7a405469ed927933064ab9860e9eb57)
    MD5 digest: OK (bd8e3eb77d44d74316f659ddc3bd861e)
    V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID a109b1ec
