Yes.

Just commited the change to master:

  $ gpg2 -k '  8061 5870 F5BA D690 3336  86D0 F2AD 85AC 1E42 B367   ' 
  pub   2048D/1E42B367 2007-12-31 [expires: 2018-12-31]

Note that leading and trailing spaces are allowed but the double space
in the middle of the fingerprint is required:

  $ gpg2 -k '  8061 5870 F5BA D690 3336 86D0 F2AD 85AC 1E42 B367   ' 
  gpg: error reading key: No public key



Salam-Shalom,
