+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
+account with limited shells that we could add User IDs that we want to

+example, if one of the George admins who is listed as an
+identity-certifier has already certified Foo T. Bar's key, we could
+write a simple note like:
+
+ Dear Foo T. Bar--

+ The user account "foo@george.riseup.net" has been created for
+ you. You can ssh into it by adding an authentication subkey
