I'm surprised I didn't notice this back when we were switching to the SKS key 
server mirrors. It seems like we have a few options:

* Use https://keys.openpgp.org which has stricter security, though it requires 
that key uploaders verify their email address with that site in order for their 
published keys to be publicly searchable (not sure if that applies to the key 
id directly)
* GnuPG has a feature for storing and searching for PGP keys in LDAP if we want 
to host keys somewhere more standardized, but this doesn't help for people who 
don't already have an account
* Offer some method for submitters to include an HTTPS link to download their 
PGP key
