The IETF Enroll WG was chartered to solve this problem, but it folded before

We could get the ietf-enroll mail list reactivated if there is interest.
I think I have to clarify:
My suggestion was not about cert enrollment. I also don't want to invent a new
mechanism. I just thought of a very *simple* S/MIME cert publication tool in
form of a mass subscriber mailing list. *Existing* standard MUAs could
immediately leverage importing S/MIME certs from signed messages sent to the
list.
Even though the ietf-enroll charter sounds interesting it does not seem
appropriate to reactivate the mailing list for the purpose I described.
But maybe reviving ietf-enroll WG would be interesting.

HI!
Still getting S/MIME certs of other mail users is a unsolved problem.
Would it make sense if the IETF would simply host a non-WG mailing list for
simply publishing S/MIME certs via e-mail?
So if mailing list members get a new S/MIME cert they send a signed e-mail
with almost empty content to the mailing list and all subscribers get the
certs and S/MIME capabilities.
Ciao, Michael.
