With GPG there is a conf option that allows you to specify how many
trusted sigs are required to have a particular key appear as Valid.

If x=2, it only takes two trusted keys signed by you to make a key
Valid. (total keys = 4, yours, theirs, and the 2 in parallel in between)

If x=3, it takes three trusted keys signed by you to make a key
Valid. (total keys = 5, yours, theirs, and the 3 in parallel in between)

etc.

I believe the default is 3 although it's been a while and I don't
recall the variable name...
