Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.  The “single signature” solution is
far from being perfect, but it’s way better than nothing.  I suspect
that the “web of trust” thing would require a lot of effort.  So I
propose to postpone that until we implement the former since a bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush.  Even though that bird would be an
obvious target for an attacker.
