+I like the idea of using George for this.  There's nothing wrong with
+denying people's ssh connections.  Also, we could make public user

+identity-certifier has already certified Foo T. Bar's key, we could
+write a simple note like:
+
+	Dear Foo T. Bar--

+	you.  You can ssh into it by adding an authentication subkey
+	to your OpenPGP key and publishing it to the public keyservers
+	(or to george.riseup.net).  The easiest way to do this is with
