What command did you run to get the error in your email's subject?

Based on this commit, `guix git authenticate` does succeed for me:

------
$ guix git authenticate
guix git: successfully authenticated commit 9c7ef1994db6c11c95c16891437a5c8ed229eb64
------

And `guix pull` succeeds too.

The command was `git pull --rebase savannah master`. (See my first
email in the thread)

Right.

You might need to check out the 'keyring' branch and pull it in order to
get the updates to the keyring, since Steve (futurile) is a new
committer.

If you'd rather avoid clobbering your regular source checkout, which
would require a full rebuild in order to use './pre-inst-env' again, you
can check out the keyring in a worktree. Something like this:

$ git worktree add /tmp/keyring origin/keyring && cd /tmp/keyring && git pull origin keyring

Actually with a recent change (a few months?) to Guix, I believe it's
now necessary to run 'guix pull' to get newly authorized keys; I'm not
sure in what commit though.

Could someone confirm or infirm that?  With the link to the actual
change as a bonus, if you have that!  If confirmed, we should probably
extend our contributing doc to document this new gotcha.
