+## Package updates
+Any updates to the SecureDrop Release Signing Key will require an updated version of
+this package to be released. Submit a PR to this repository that contains the updated
+SecureDrop Release Public Key and updates the rpm key ID, which will change any time the
+key or its subkeys are changed. (The rpm key ID is ``gpg-pubkey-xxxxxxxx-yyyyyyyy``, used
+in the ``.spec`` file and in ``tests``, and the new rpm key ID can be found by importing
+the updated pubkey into rpmdb and querying for it via
+``rpm -qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\t%{SUMMARY}\n' | grep 'SecureDrop Release Signing Key'``).
+
+Then follow [the RPM release documentation](https://developers.securedrop.org/en/latest/workstation_release_management.html#release-an-rpm-package) to release an updated keyring
+package.
+
+Refer to the internal SecureDrop developer documentation for information on release key
+update procedures.
