I don't see the problem of putting a slight burden on the review
teams, if there is a tool/process to update, review and validate the
content of the keyring.
If the distro maintainers can save users' burden then why not? In the
current implementation, users can just update the keyring by running
`apt update`. It's simple and easy for users.
