+gpg --with-colons --list-sigs | awk -F: '/pub/{pub=$5;}/sig:::17:/{if ($5="9710B89BCA57AD7C") print pub}' | sort | uniq | awk '{printf "wget https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/DownloadKey.event?keyid=0x%s\n", $0;}' > cmds  
+source cmds  
+gpg --import DownloadKey.event\?keyid\=0x*  
+gpg --with-colons --list-sigs | awk -F: '/pub/{pub=$5;}/sig:::17:/{if ($5="9710B89BCA57AD7C") print pub}' | sort | uniq | awk '{printf "gpg --send %s\n", $0;}' > cmds2
