Guilty as charged, but actually Dimitrios was a bit faster then me and I 
didn't have that much time yesterday to try and work this out.

If any of those two should be done, including it in identity would be 
the better way, I think.
We have people aside from packagers with svn commit rights, e.g. the 
i18n team commiters.
As an idea: instead of that input field or as an alternative provide a 
possibility to upload the pubkey file?
This well make sure, no half keys are uploaded.
