You can import keys (1) direct from personal contact - people give you the key id and you can download from a key server - most people upload their public key to a key server (2) you can get keys when people have included their public key as an attachment in an email. If you have installed Thunderbird - you could install Enigmail - you can do all the things with that that GPA does.
Of course, I could use other software if I don't like this one, but the question is "wouldn't it be convenient to add a simple commandline option to GPA to import a key". It's not that big of a deal, but the idea is so obvious I'm really surprised it's not there yet.
It's not about GNOME Keyring; it's just that I've been using GnuPG and GPA since Squeeze, and I would really like to be able to add public keys by just "opening" them from anywhere, not only from a Thunderbird mail attachment, and with GPA, not with something else.
I just don't want to submit a "wishlist" bug report without consulting the users first - maybe it's already there in the newer versions?.. The developers seem to be really busy...
