Keypub

Keypub seems like the kind of thing that could be really useful, and yet I find myself mildly pessimistic about its prospects. The biggest get would obviously be a forge provider like GitHub or GitLab, but I don’t see them adopting this anytime soon.

That said, it could perhaps be a nice signal for anyone looking to build a reputation-based service for vetting open source contributors and/or maintainers. I haven’t fully thought through how that might work, but having a second source linking SSH public keys to email addresses seems like it could be valuable.

At any rate, I’ll be keeping my eye on this.
