Expired Patrick Key, is there proof new key is Patrick?

I recently got the GPG error: tor+https://deb.whonix.org trixie InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG CB8D50BB77BB3C48 Patrick Schleizer adrelanos@kicksecure.com.

I keep Patrick’s key in Kleopatra and other places because I use whonix all the time. I’ve never gotten this error before, but it looks like Patrick’s key expired on 1/23/26. I read the part about curling Patrick’s new key and can do that.

@Patrick, do you have any way to sign your new key with your old expired key so it’s clear it’s you? Or if there i a better more customary way to check, that would be great. Or if that already happened, can someone link to it? I tried to find the answer in the documentation.

Call me paranoid, but I just want to make sure Patrick’s new key isn’t controlled by someone else.

The key’s lifetime was extended before it expired, but wasn’t published everywhere. If you look at the fingerprint of the “old key” and the fingerprint of the “new key” using gpg --import --import-options=show-only /path/to/key, you’ll see that they have identical fingerprints.
