Thank you Andre, also for adding me to subscribers. I'll follow it.

Understood.

For further context for people following this on the mailing list the 
Issuer User ID packet can be added to the signature by using 
`default-key e-mail at example.com` instead of hex fingerprint  in gpg.conf 
(or using the respective command line options). (Some other apps such as 
OpenKeychain also insert this packet).

Thank you both!

Kind regards,
Wiktor
