direct control by Maven while downloading dependencies seems ideal, but I fear 
it's hard to have normal users aware of keys and manage it while building 
their artifacts

I imagine something useful would be some report too, to display the status of 
actual dependencies: imagine adding key reference to every dependency in 
dependencies report [1]

Anybody interested in coding such improvement?
or any other idea?

Definitely, seems the right moment to improve users awareness about security: 
IMHO, people will discover that security isn't automagic and will require 
involvement to decide what to trust and what to not trust, and that trust is a 
personal choice
