[python-committers] PSA: replace your DSA keys for SSH

Hi all,

newer OpenSSH versions (7.0+) default to not allowing ssh-dss keys for
public key authentication.  If you experience "permission denied" errors,
this (currently) comes from the client side only and hg.python.org will
accept these keys if you enable them using the PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes
option in your SSH config file.

Of course ssh-dss is being phased out for a reason; we'd like to invite
everybody who has only DSA keys submitted for hg.python.org access to
send an RSA (min. 1024 bits) or ED25519 key to hgaccounts at python.org.

cheers,
Georg
