To give an example: we organize booths at several computer fairs & other
events, and we always try to find local people to organize & coordinate
the booth.  In some cases those people only do this once (or once a
year), and some of them might not have a Launchpad account yet, and not
know how GnuPG works.  And in some cases they might not know English
very well either.

Asking those people to make a LP account, create a GnuPG key and upload
it, and sign some text & upload it, could very well result in a serious
loss in enthusiasm to volunteer...  ;)

Still, they are (temporary) "leaders", as they have responsibilities
towards the other volunteers at the event and towards the ubuntu-be &
ubuntu communities.
As such they can/will also be "judged" by the LCoC.

So indeed: where do we draw the line for *requiring* signing of the
LCoC?
