Since the last update, one Hackage root keyholder has retired (Johan Tibell) and two new ones have joined (Mathieu Boespflug and Joachim Breitner). The new root keys are authorized by the existing keyholders, so existing clients should give them the proper authority. However, new clients should have the current set of keyholders in the bootstrap set, which makes the system more robust against people leaving the process.
These changes remove the obsolete key, add the new keys, and improve the comments. Please check the keys against https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-root-keys before merging.
Please see #53 for a prior PR in the same vein.
