            Bug ID: 262174
           Summary: gpg.conf options in Committer's handbook should be
                    reviewed/updated
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: matteo@FreeBSD.org

The committer's handbook suggests using some specific options for GnuPG to
generate a key (see
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#pgpkeys).

These options should be reviewed and possibly updated, because they have so=
me
issues:

* some of them are defaults (fixed-list-mode, verify-options show-uid-valid=
ity,
list-options show-uid-validity, at least as far as I can tell);

* some of them only impact the output of gpg, so may not be needed, and at =
the
very least should be put next to each other, not mixed with others that imp=
act
key preferences (all the above);

* some are a bit obsolete (default-prefs does not include anything for AEAD,
nor any Camellia algorithm);

* some are a bit dangerous (cert-digest-algo SHA512 may break the OpenPGP
protocol and its use is discouraged in the GnuPG docs);

* some are very weird (what is issuer-fpr@notations.openpgp.fifthhorseman.n=
et
?)

* none are commented, nor there is a link to the GnuPG doc
(https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Options.html
