Oh.  Right.  Sorry; that wasn't my impression when I had discussed the
process with him, and I hadn't actually read the PR.... :-(

I screwed up.  :-(

OK; I've updated the list descriptions.

In the process, I found that some lists' descriptions lacked the key, so
I augmented the following with the key (and introductory text):

* ctm-src-6
* ctm-src-6-fast
* ctm-src-8
* ctm-src-8-fast
* ctm-src-9
* ctm-src-9-fast

That said, it is not clear to me that placing the key in each list's
description is ideal.  I suspect that it might be better-placed in the
Handbook, (as security-officer.key is, in doc/share/pgpkeys), perhaps as
"ctm-moderator.key" (merely as an example).

It could then be committed -- possibly by the CTM moderator -- and
recorded in a single place under version control and accessible in
the Handbook (vs. duplicated (accurately, we hope!) for each new
CTM list that gets created, and updated with no audit trail
whatsoever).

Peace,
