That's indeed one of the issues.  After quite some struggle, I've just
managed to sign a tag with a quickly generated GPG key.  However, I
still need to create a proper GPG (including generating a revocation
certificate), and of course, the key has to be signed by one or more of
the previous RMs (not sure how that will work).
