Launchpad proof #253

Open makyo opened 10 years ago

makyo commented 10 years ago

Would like to be able to prove identity on Launchpad, perhaps through a junk repo (similar to a gist). For example: proof against lp:~makyo/+junk/keybase-proof, scrape files from from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~makyo/+junk/keybase-proof/view/head:/ or bzr branch lp:~makyo/+junk/keybase-proof ~/.keybase/lp-proof; <magic here> or something (not sure of the best convention!).

Launchpad has a way to verify and present a user's PGP key at https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/{person.name}/+gpg-keys/{keyid} Documented at https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html

Of course, this has the problem that it would trust Ubuntu/Canonical to do their policy correctly, instead of being an actual independently provable proof.
