Thanks for noticing this and bringing it up.

One might say that since you are the first to notice and report this,
almost a month after it expired, perhaps we should abandon PGP as a
communication mechanism? Maybe we should ask the RIPE NCC to provide a
more modern secure channel to communicate with them, such as Signal or
some other open source encryption technology?

Cheers,
