Actually this is also helpful to those of us who import the keyring.

You mean committers.

Yes please, and thanks for doing this work.

As for committers without PGP keys, if they aren't actively using them
(and therefore actually have the key, know the password, etc.) then
adding new spurious keys is not a feature.

Meanwhile, a good next step would be speaking to still-active committers
about removing/modifying keys that are still there but expired, revoked,
etc.
