This seems like a good idea...

I will admit adding guix's keyring branch (or more likely, forgetting to
add) to the other 3-4 places I need to manually update my keys is begs
for some sort of automated process!  :)

Unfortunately, keyservers may not be kept up to date consistently, and
which keyserver network(s) an individual key is uploaded to may vary...

In lieu of a keyserver, some keys may be available via WKD (web key
directory?) ... which essentially is a way to look up keys via email
addresses and a corresponding URL that matches the domain name...

So, there are quite a few different ways in which the keys *could* be
updated automatically ... although the intersecting set of update
methods might be a mess. :/

Sounds reasonable to me!
