Regarding file upload:
- Kai Sterker's report led me to a bug where project keyrings (which
are kept in /home/gatekpr/projects/foo/pubring.gpg were being
created improperly. If you are examining a request from a user,
this is a good place to start, to see if the project keyring exists,
and if it has the key that the file was signed with.
- Failed uploads are put in /var/tmp/ftp-in/foo/ and renamed with a
leading dot. So if foo.tar.gz failes to pass verification,
/var/tmp/ftp-in/foo/.foo.tar.gz will contain the archive that
failed, and the .sig file will be there too. This can be useful in
support requests as well.
Kai Sterker made some suggestions:

I agree with him, and think the GPG instructions should be updated.
Do savannah-hackers agree? If so, does one of you want to do it?
Regarding (2), the script has an email facility that I will try to get
working this week.
