Description
when uploading a public key with a lot of signatures the JavaScript request fails with HTTP status code 413.
Please allow larger uploads or suggest to use a minified public key instead of the full key:
```
gpg --export -a --export-options export-minimal
```
I could successfully upload the minified public key.

Research direction
The issue names no source file or test. Start by tracing the JavaScript public-key upload request and the request-size handling; done means a full key with many signatures no longer produces HTTP 413, or the minified-key guidance is clearly provided.
