Yes. Of course, it is pretty poor form to upload it yourself rather
than sending the signed copy to the person whose key it is, so that
they can make the decision themself to upload. Still, it is easy to
accidentally upload, or to deliberately but maliciously upload.

Any signatures you encounter on a key are either part of your own
decision how far to trust that key, or else useless noise.
