The chair should be told if he enters an invalid private key

The system seems to take garbage input without indicating an error when entering a private key. (I used "This is some invalid input to see what happens".)

It would be better to note if a valid key isn't actually found.

Joel suggests also providing an explicit hint (or better, an example) of the format(s?) the form will accept. He did not include the wrapper("-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" and "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" in his first attempt, and the failure that resulted was not obvious.

Also, the chair should be told if he enters an invalid public key. When a comment is done, if the public key is not valid, the system should show a message as "a error ocurred and your changes could not be stored" insted of 500 error.
