My GPG key is available from the MIT keyserver [0]. Establishment of ownership of the Mwalker LDAP account by this email can occur via gerrit [1], or the edit history of my user page on [2].
I'm not sure how any of that establishes anything?
I'm attempting to establish, I think the term is, a preponderance of truth from less trusted authorities. Beyond this point though the argument becomes silly; because if I own those accounts (and I do); I can submit, +2 things, deploy to the site (because I'm part of the deployment group), etc.
(Incidently; I should probably get more signatures on my key... anyone in the office want to sign it?)
The simplest option if you're in the office is to just tell an op in person. (who can verify who you are because they know you)
I'm assuming that not all ops people know how to do this / or are willing to find out. And not all opsens are located in the office. Additionally, we submit SSH key revocation requests via email -- I'm just doing the same thing in a public list because this a more public resource and I started with the assumption that I didn't need a root to do this.
[2] redirects (somehow??) to another domain. Maybe better to link straight to the history page.

It's using #REDIRECT; you're correct though in that it should be a soft redirect. I'd change it; but... I can't... :p
