Bug Description

Talking with Joey, we've implemented a trustroot for REVU, and it came up that the current "solution" to get GPG keys from Launchpad is complicated, painful, and just not right. OpenID allows servers (or providers in openid-speak) to publish service records, it should be possible to publish GPG keys as service records which could be parsed by clients.

Here's part of the current glue that makes GPG keys get downloaded on REVU: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~revu-hackers/revu/trunk/annotate/355?file_id=launchpad_login.py-20080722080827-qvmbrxzbdftv9glq-1

Needless to say its not a pretty solution.
