Does it? How?

Unfortunately people will probably just include the password or key
fingerprint in the same email as the reference, or send it over the same
logged IRC channel. But there's not much we can do about that.

Maybe it should be possible to put refs and invitations inside
password-protected zip files for people who need to email them through
restrictive filters? Filtering an extra MIME type will be a 5-minute job
for China.

Cheers,
