One of the most pressing tasks we needed to take care of was setting up a contributor-controlled backup of all of our signing keys. The requirements made it necessary to have a lengthy, in-person, consensus-driven planning session. We found no good documentation of such a procedure, so we&rsquo;re going out on a limb here and publishing the general outline of our process. This process was informally audited by multiple people with varying expertise before the public key was used to encrypt anything.</p>
