To me
it makes sense to preserve a decentalised network of public keyservers [1].
In my post
Preserving non-central and privacy with a "permission recording keyserver"
[Reiter 2019-07 a]
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2019-July/034399.html
there is a concept allowing for compatibility with strong privacy laws.
Some ideas how we could conceptually preserve third party
signature information on public servers:

https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2019-July/034394.html
So yes, I also believe that improvements to hockeypuck or a fresh
implementation could step by step get the public keyserver network up again.
Best Regards,
Bernhard
ps.: Because I believe funding more qualified dev time is part of the
solution: You can become a sponsor for hockeypuck development, see
https://github.com/sponsors/cmars
(my company Intevation is one, we also gave a small donation to KF Web running
https://sks-keyservers.net/).
