As mentioned, I was working on drafts to improve publishing OTR and PGP
public keys.  You can find the drafts here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wouters-dane-otrfp-00

Abstract

   The Off-the-Record (OTR) protocol exchanges public keys in-band.
   This document describes how to use DANE to securely associate an
   Instant Message user identified by their email address with an OTR
   public key.  This association helps to authenticate users and protect
   against MITM attacks.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wouters-dane-openpgp-00

Abstract

   OpenPGP is a message format for email (and file) encryption, that
   lacks a standarized secure lookup mechanism to obtain OpenPGP public
   keys.  This document specifies a standarized method for securely
   publishing and locating OpenPGP public keys in DNS using a new
   OPENPGPKEY DNS Resource Record.

Please discuss the drafts on the appropriate IETF mailing lists, even
if you simple agree with the draft. That way, the IETF knows there is
an interest in these.
