As I try to join the Fedora Doc I know a lot more about what is going on. The key issue is two fold. Did you get your key to MIT? Is MIT working now? The answer to both questions must be yes. I have known for some time that MIT is a key deposit computer and I once got a key to MIT.
Now I know how to tell the answers. You MUST BOOKMARK on your web browser this:
And anytime you do anything with the Fedora Doc web page, you must first check to see if mit is working. Today the instructions tell you to send your key to another place that seems to work better. I found it worked fine,but, my key is not at mit so I can do nothing towards joining.
It is important to tell the new member this information and let them know there is no way to continue joining. You just have to wait for someone to fix mit.
