I'm not the person you want, but i'm happy that you're working on this :)
my impression is that the sks-devel mailing list (perhaps with an
explicit Cc: to Yaron Minsky, the original sks author, who is busy but
can sometimes be raised with a specific-enough problem statement) is
probably your best bet, meager though it may seem. Your earlier
question to sks-devel may have gone unanswered because there was no
specific question there, but rather a request for permission to ask
questions, which is already implicitly granted by the mailing list
itself :)
The developer of hockeypuck (a go HKP implementation that appears to
interop with sks itself) is also on sks-devel, and might be able to help
you with some of the details if Yaron is unable to reply.
