@ECohen_WMDE, how do you want to do the public key confirmation? One of the most common methods is to put your pubkey on your Mediawiki page, usually in the Contact section. You could also submit a Gerrit patchset. Feel free to reach out to me here (preferred) or on Slack (Chris Dobbins) or IRC (ChrisDobbins901_) if you have any questions.

@ssingh: that's right. I thought about this a bit over the weekend, and I think the easiest approach is going to be doing a clean install in a VM, grabbing the yaml config, and diffing it against our existing settings. If this seems reasonable, I was thinking we could start with Wikimedia DNS to validate the approach. Any thoughts?
