Just do something like:

gpg --with-colons --fast-list-mode --list-keys \
	| awk -F: '$1=3D=3D"pub" {print $5}' | sort | uniq \
	| xargs -n 20 gpg --recv-keys

Some people would prefer to use perl in place of the awk|sort|uniq pipe
or do the duplicate removal within awk but this was the first thing I
thought of and the performance of the --recv-key operation dwarfs any
minor inefficiencies in the rest of the pipeline.
