Two weeks ago, I started signing internet drafts. This is done by
generating an additional file in /a/www/ietf-ftp/internet-drafts for
each valid .txt draft in that directory.

So, for example, draft-glen-spicecake.txt would get an additional file
draft-glen-spicecake.txt.p7s added to that directory.

Today I went in to sign all the new drafts not yet signed since my last
signing attempt, and found that all the previous signatures were gone.
A scan shows that they were all moved to:
/a/www/www6s/draft-archive/unknown_ids/

I searched my cron jobs, and none of them do this move, and then I found
routine clean_up_id_files() in expire.py in the datatracker, which
appears to be responsible.

That code appears to move anything it doesn't recognize to the
unknown_ids file.

Could you please arrange for it to not do that?

Also, could you please arrange for the .p7s files to be retired and/or
moved along with their .txt original files, so that the signatures stay
with their drafts?

The most recent version of cron job that I was running before that stuff
was taken over by the datatracker did this properly, as I had coded that
part well before I started signing drafts in production - whoever wrote
that routine must have been working off of an older version.
