$CONFIG{'keyserver'} is deprecated since 2.3-1, and the default is to
use the keyserver in ~/.caff/gnupghome/gpg.conf, falling back to the
option value defined in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, falling back to the
dirmngr(8) default (hkps://keys.openpgp.org by — Debian — default).
Seems I forgot to update caffrc.sample :-), but since 2.3-1 caff doesn't
hardcode its own keyserver.

I'm not sure what's the best substitute at the moment as hkps://keys.openpgp.org
doesn't send third-party signatures.  IIRC GnuPG upstream waits for 
a sane Hockeypuck-based pool to grow before switching the default, so it
might make sense for caff to wait too.  (https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/
is an example of an Hockeypuck-based key server, but of course it's
centralized and not a pool.)
