There are several ways to automate this:

1) If you don't mind typing your passphrase over and over, you can do
something like

for i in `cat list_of_keys`
do
gpg --sign-key $i
done

2) Use the --status-fd interface to drive GnuPG via an external
script.

3) Use expect.

I'm not going to get into the issue of how you assure that all 3000+
keys are the right ones for you to sign.  Presumably you have a
solution for that. ;)
