Characterizing this as a "dead end" is probably inaccurate.  There seems to be consensus that it would be a good idea if someone had the time to do it.  For now though, your conclusion is probably right.

Since I'd offered it to you in the past and you'd turned it down, I'm happy to reverse that decision :).  I take it that https://github.com/adiroiban.keys <https://github.com/adiroiban.keys> is an adequate source of credential material for you?

It would be nice to get feedback from some more contributors - particularly people who have recently gotten commit access (about whether the problems are real and what they think of the proposed solutions) but also from other long-time Twisted contributors about whether they like this new idea about how to bring more people in (and whether they would volunteer to do the necessary candidate reviews - without which effort this isn't practical).
