	476 what allows git.kernel.org's 600+ forks of linux.git to take up only

	810 * gpg: Ignore all key-signatures received from keyservers. This
	811 change is required to mitigate a DoS due to keys flooded with
	812 faked key-signatures. The old behaviour can be achieved by adding
	813 keyserver-options no-self-sigs-only,no-import-clean
	814 to your gpg.conf. [#4607]
	815 * gpg: If an imported keyblocks is too large to be stored in the
	816 keybox (pubring.kbx) do not error out but fallback to an import
	817 using the options "self-sigs-only,import-clean". [#4591]
	818 * gpg: New command --locate-external-key which can be used to
	819 refresh keys from the Web Key Directory or via other methods
	820 configured with --auto-key-locate.
	821 * gpg: New import option "self-sigs-only".
	822 * gpg: In --auto-key-retrieve prefer WKD over keyservers. [#4595]
	823 * dirmngr: Support the "openpgpkey" subdomain feature from
	824 draft-koch-openpgp-webkey-service-07. [#4590].
