Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.7.0-20210622193735+e3826b703a

Turns out my local gpg key had a longer expiration date, than the one on keybase. Same key. But in the keybase UI (both client and website) the keys looked the same. Hard to debug...

Remedy: prominently show gpg expiration dates, and perhaps deal with expired keys separately.

Research direction

Start by comparing how key details are presented in the Keybase client and website, using the reported mismatch between local GPG and Keybase expiration dates as the case to reproduce. Done means GPG expiration dates are prominent and expired keys are handled distinctly in both interfaces.
