Description

```sh
$ sudo rpm --import https://keybase.io/docs/server_security/code_signing_key.asc
warning: Signature not supported. Hash algorithm SHA1 not available.
error: https://keybase.io/docs/server_security/code_signing_key.asc: key 1 import failed.
```

At the least, this prevents use on RHEL 9.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the `rpm --import` command against the code-signing key URL and confirm the SHA1 failure on RHEL 9. Review how the published key is maintained, then verify that the replacement signing key imports successfully without the unsupported-hash error.
