Bug fixes and improvements

Open tasks

Verify the ownership of the uploaded GPG key

Owner: <you ?>

Bug: None
Status: TODO
Details: We currently don't check if the GPG key actually is owned by the user. We should make sure that a uid on the key matches the email address of the account, and do some challenge/response to assert ownership of the private key.

Where to look: debexpo/controllers/my.py

Verify the strength of the GPG keys

Owner: <you ?>

Bug: None
Status: TODO
Details: We should check if the keys uploaded to mentors.debian.net are strong enough for inclusion in the debian keyring, and warn the user if it is not.

Where to look: debexpo/controllers/my.py

Use GPG to verify the uploader of the package

Owner: <you ?>

Bug: None
Status: TODO
Details: mentors.debian.net associates the uploaded files to an account on the website by using the Changed-By field. We should use the GPG uid instead.

Where to look: bin/debexpo_importer.py

Make users accept the DMUP before allowing uploads

Owner: <you ?>

Bug: None
Status: TODO
Details: mentors.debian.net aims at becoming an official Debian service, hosted on Debian hardware. For this to happen, we need among other things that users accept the Debian Machine Usage Policy before allowing them to upload packages.

Where to look: debexpo/model/users.py (database), debexpo/controllers/my.py (user interface), bin/debexpo_importer.py (pre-import check)
