Only a few minor comments. Approved.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/tools/keytool/Main.java line 1978:

No need for an if-else block? `signerSubjectKeyId` is null in this case.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/tools/keytool/Main.java line 2013:

Either put the declaration of `source` outside the if-else block and move the println line outside; or, move the declaration of `form` inside. It looks confusing that `form` is declared outside and `source` inside.

I feel "issued by <{3}>" sounds more normal. No need to say "an entry". You decide it.
