Thanks Stephan - I see it in there for last 2 days now.

At the moment I don't have my key signed by anyone else. James pointed me to
http://www.kernel.org/signature.html so I've added myself to the google map page
and there's obviously no one near me. So how do we solve this - can I call a
developer - who say trusts me - and get him to sign using my key-id.

Richard I believe you were in a similar situation when submitting your port - how
did you end up solving this.

Damn! I was at ELCE back in November but wasn't aware of need for doing this.

Thx,
