Mi addition is so trivial I decided to add it here rather than opening a new bug.

When trying to sign the ubuntu code of conduct, it takes time (ca. 10 minutes) for launchpad to realise a new key has been uploaded on the server. So, when following the instructions (which points towards a "direct query" to the server that answers positively) the user can't understand what's going on and why the fingerprint is not accepted.

PROPOSAL: in the alert dialogue that shows on page reload, it should be added a "possible source of problem" something like "you have just uploaded your GPG public key. Please allow 10 minutes for launchpad to syncronise with the keyserver".
