PGP keys signed by me so I don't have to validate the same keys again-and-again and can just trust my own paper verified fingerprint in the subsequent validations. PGP keys signed by me so I don't have to validate the same keys

Example use case for this repository is [Tor Browser](https://torproject.org/),
I need to download it on most of systems and I need to verify it and it's
painful to verify the PGP key all the time, while I can just verify my own
fingerprint from paper and see that it has signed the keys. I have done this
at least twice on Windowses first installing GPG through Chocolatey.

I don't know if there is point in putting down formal signing requirements,
but what has been my policy at the time of writing is:
NOTE: this section is written from memory so may be inaccurate
* friends - knowing for a long time through various connections and seeing
at times seeing IDs (or visiting both directions) and otherwise having
so deep relationship that lying about identity wouldn't be easily possible
* privacytools - confirmed from the people themselves, their websites,
privacytools.io (WKD in git) and similar.
* software - used their verification instructions (of varying strength)
* keepassxc.asc mullvad.asc tails.asc tor-browser-developers.asc yggdrasil.asc
* keepassxc - checked their website through normal and Tor Browser
* mullvad - checked their website and onion
* tails - followed their verification instructions (including checking
that it's signed by a Debian developer)
* tor-browser - followed their checking instructions
* yggdrasil - checked their website and comitted apt repo adding to git

TODO:
* add links to the previous section
* add OnionShare?
