drop my key from trusted-keys #34517

   As planned!

   Also bump trusted-git-root to 88a7294356e75bbaa136c9427c64e239f7c6fd40, which is the last merge signed with this key.

   EDIT: I didn’t plan to write a “statement” but I keep getting asked to comment:

   I was added as a maintainer ~3.5 years ago in recognition that mempool needed extra attention and work. It is a sensitive area of the codebase with painful tradeoffs and attracted stop energy from many angles. With package relay, TRUC + other policy features, cluster mempool, and a number of other projects shipping, I’m happy with what we’ve achieved for L2 security and mining decentralization. Here is a natural stopping point for a mempool maintainer.

   Over the last decade, Bitcoin Core has seen dozens of brigaded mempool policy PRs (covered to varying degrees by media). I’ve had the privilege of authoring, reviewing, moderating and/or merging the vast majority of them in the last 4 years and each one has strengthened the project’s resistance to harassment. I cannot say the same for myself and my family, but it is an honor to receive so much personal recognition for my impact on Bitcoin Core’s decision-making process and p2p code.

   I have deep respect for the skill of capturing people’s attentions/emotions. But the choice between integrity and engagement has always been an obvious one to me, and a privilege to be able to make as a maintainer of this project.

   I verified that the correct key 6B002C6EA3F91B1B0DF0C9BC8F617F1200A6D25C is removed, and that 88a7294356e75bbaa136c9427c64e239f7c6fd40 is the last merge commit signed by this key, making it the suitable new trusted-git-root (as it appears since #27058 we’re not using allow-revsig-commits anymore, I’m not intimately familiar with this process).

   I’m grateful for the excellent work you’ve done since becoming a maintainer ~3.5years ago, thank you glozow.

    I am sorry for the disrespectful and unprofessional manner in which you were treated. None of us can be proud of that.

    That said, it perfectly mirrored your behavior which was similarly disrespectful and unprofessional.

    This presumably was the result of an attitude that Bitcoin is fundamentally just a silly project and thus this seems to be a happy solution - for you to work on a project where you don’t hold its users in utter contempt.

    I do hope that this contempt departs from Bitcoin Core along with you, but it seems unlikely and that you were just the one to betray its existence. In which case I’m further sorry that you have been used as a scapegoat for a problem that still needs to be addressed.

    So long Gloria! Thanks for the many years of work as reviewer and maintainer, and all your contributions to bitcoin, especially to the mempool.

    I know how thankless and stressful this is a project to be maintainer of. It’s hard to keep up for long. Even some of the responses here, ugh. Hope you find something else fulfilling to do.
