  Recent messages on the keys@linux.kernel.org list indicate that two
signatures are needed.
This also matches the wording from accounts.rst.

Sorry for the long delay getting back to you. The current wording is actually
correct -- to be included into the keyring it is sufficient to just have a

We do require two signatures to get a kernel.org account, but it's a separate
set of requirements -- not everyone included into the keyring has an account.
