Did you know you can locate gpg keys from DNS itself? It is a bit sad 
DNS specialized group does not publish it that way. Especially when they 
already have the domain signed and they could publish the OPENPGPKEY 
record there.

gpg --auto-key-locate dane --locate-external-keys george at nlnetlabs.nl

It is possible also for SMIME key, in case PGP is not desired anymore.

Fedora publishes its keys using dane, but not WKD.
