Which other repositories do you have in mind?

Only contrib or even more?

In your position I would file a new feature request at https://features.opensuse.org/

It would be nice, to have the keys at least on some key servers like keys.gnupg.net. Always searching opensuse.org is annoying.

Thanks a lot for the information.

By the way:
Would it be possible to have a package in the oss (main) repository that installs all signing keys for the other repositories of the community (including non-oss and other non-main repositories connected with openSUSE)?
I guess it would be advantageous if not to many signing keys were presented to a normal/not very ambitious user. In my opinion the current status may inheritance the danger of spoiling the user. I doubt that all users are really checking the integrity/validity of every signing key if they add a new repository.
