Subject: [RFC Outreachy] gpg-interface: Replace strbuf_split()* with string_list_split()
Message-ID: <CAD=f0L9Z2kPWv-=wPbtytbMS7BuUtmAKCv2X_2rq0hB_Wsh=UA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

In continuation of my search for an appropriate microproject after
temporarily moving on from my mail to the list which was about
the check-whitespace script check for \No newline, I stumbled on the
thread
https://public-inbox.org/git/20250731225433.4028872-1-gitster@pobox.com/.
After studying the thread and searching the codebase for other
instances where strbuf_split()* can be replaced with string_list_split(),
I saw some cases in gpg-interface.c where get_ssh_key_fingerprint and
get_default_ssh_signing_key functions use the strbuf_split_max to split the
input string and I think they can be good candidates for replacement with
string_list_split().

Please, will this be good for a microproject?
I will also appreciate any guides.

Thanks
Bello
