Hi,

May I ask why you, or anyone, would want to do this? If I get a public key
with a signature from someone who's key I have verified and who I trust to
check keys properly, then why should it matter to me if that signature has
expired or not? It still means the same thing; that the person who signed
it has verified the key she/he signed.
