Summary0000089: GPG Revokation Escrow Service
DescriptionWe currently have the ability to revoke X.509 certificates either by administrative request or user request and due to the decentralised nature of GPG/PGP keys there are a lot floating about because people loose their keys and in turn unable to generate revokation notices.

It's been suggested to allow users to tag their keys to be revoked by our key and then if they loose their private key or forget the password they upload their public key and we issue them with a revoked certificate.
TagsNo tags attached.

From gpg manpage:
                 addrevoker [sensitive]
                           Add a designated revoker. This takes one optional
                           argument: "sensitive". If a designated revoker is
                           marked as sensitive, it will not be exported by
                           default (see export-options).

       --desig-revoke name
                 Generate a designated revocation certificate for a key. This
                 allows a user (with the permission of the keyholder) to
                 revoke someone else's key.
