[db-wg] mntner object updates by mail

Dear DB WG members,

there currently exists a somewhat tricky deadlock situation in
updating mntner objects.  Envision the following object:

mntner:         XOO-MNT
admin-c:        XOO-RIPE
upd-to:         kieber at xoo.net
auth:           PGPKEY-B490673F # Ulf Kieber
auth:           PGPKEY-XXXXXXXX # Somebody Else
mnt-by:         XOO-MNT
source:         RIPE

Now, XOO is a large, distributed organisation and Someone Else
eventually starts adding a bunch of

auth:           SSO # Filtered

None of those SSO accounts is certainly mine.  How am I going to
update this mntner object without removing those SSO accounts?

The issue here is: There is no way of retrieving the SSO account
information from the mntner object without an SSO auth on it.

Proposal: Add a way to retrieve mntner objects from the DB by
encrypted mail (public key PGPKEY-B490673F is already in the
database).

PS: Mail updates may seem arcane to some, but I've done registry
mergers of some 20000 object registries pretty fast that way.

Regards,
