[admin] Keysigning frenzy

Ok, having my home connectivity restored at least temporarily I've now
signed all the user keys that /home/*/pubkey.asc found.

That was a few!

I'm rather flabbergasted how can gpg not have an option "list all
keys that match criteria X". Maybe I'm just blind.

It seems to me that the easiest way to sign a ton of keys is to:

 1) gpg --import /home/*/pubkey.asc
 2) in other window gpg --list-sigs | grep -v "User id not found" | less
    and look for keys we haven't signed
 3) gpg --sign <paste-from-other-window>, repeat until
 4) gpg --send-keys
 4) gpg --armor --export > ...

Not all that automatable.

Cheers,
