Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It prevents the team from growing.

I'm just recording this to remember the conversation with @delroth

Describe the solution you'd like

Either a HSM, or an upload machine that can hold the key, sign and upload.

Describe alternatives you've considered

After we have workflow with a locked-down key, it would make sense to me to rotate it NixOS/rfcs#149

Well, these two could be independent, but rotation seems to require relatively lots of work, so I think it's better to rotate directly to a key that's better secured from the start.
