Figuring out the matching user id for a new key signature. Right, --import-options repair-key is the the default and does the same. However, it was also the major cause for the recent trouble with the keyservers because it tried to verify all signatures. repair-keys was made the default (T2236) because it seemed to be nearly for free - which was a false assumption. We should not use this option by default and only consider properly placed signathures as valid. This of course also means that a userid is required.

@werner, i don't understand your last remark. what "required computations" do you think the proposed patches are "moving" from the server to the client?

dkg added a comment to T4766: gpgme_signature_t relies on `unsigned long` for signature creation and expiration times.

fwiw, ensuring that overflow for either field results in ULONG_MAX (rather than wrapping around) would go a long way toward this problem being something that we can reasonably put off for another 50 years.
