Given that gnupg apparently returns NEWSIG <email-address> along with NO_PUBKEY <key-id>, we could also use the email address to search for pub keys:

  • Lookup via DNS (PKA or CERT types?)
  • Lookup via WKD (Web Key Directory)

Not sure how many projects support that already but I guess we could promote it.
This might actually make it worth while to extract the key finding code into it's own component.
