No, you don't have to anything like that. There is never a need to
manually verify the keys of developers and trusted users because they
are part of the web of trust model. There are 5 trusted master keys and
they are part of the installation from the get go. A key is trusted if
it is signed by at least 3 master keys - you only ever need to mark keys
for third party repositories as trusted.
