Comment:

 What did moria1 say five minutes earlier when it generated its vote, when
 it uploaded it to the other authorities, and 2:30 minutes earlier when the
 other authorities asked for its vote?  Can you post the logs from that
 time, too?

 What did the other authorities say?  Can somebody please post notice-level
 logs of that time?

 Agreed about the two bugs, though they seem to only affect moria1's own
 internal logging, not the voting process: nobody accepted moria1's vote
 nor included it in the consensus.  (At least there are no votes from
 moria1 in the metrics archives between 2014-01-02 10:00 UTC to 2014-01-03
 00:00 UTC, and the consensuses from that time contain neither moria1's
 `dir-source` line nor `directory-signature`.)  That's good.  I wonder if
 we should specify this any further in dir-spec.txt than:

 {{{
    Authorities MUST generate a new signing key and corresponding
    certificate before the key expires.
 }}}
