As you don't need to sign the CLA, you can choose to send your real
GPG public key (preferred), or you can create a key which you then
don't use.  Likewise for the ssh public key - just create a keypair
that you'll never use.

And yes, folks working on the new account system know this seems odd
and want to take care of it in the next version. :-)
