Re: [Pki-devel] [PATCH] 0037 Store issuser DN in certificate records

This patch causes Issuer DN to be stored in certificate records

This will allow me to change sub-CAs implementation to a shared
certificate repo which means I don't have to worry about range
management anymore :) But I think it is a sensible change in its
own right.
UI / CLI filters for issuer can come later - there's a TODO for that
on my tracking etherpad[1] and I will file a ticket later.

The patch itself looks good, but we also need to consider the existing
certificate records in the database that do not have the issuerName. Two
possibilities:
1. Add issuerName into all existing certificate records using a database
upgrade script.
2. Maintain two types of certs such that:
* Certs issued by the main CA (and standalone sub CA) will continue to
have empty issuerName.
* Certs issued by the light-weight sub CA will have non-empty issuerName.
Any preference?
