Note that the "list of best places to refresh" already exists in
OpenPGP:

5.2.3.18. Preferred key server

   (String)

   This is a URL of a key server that the key holder prefers be used
   for updates. Note that keys with multiple User IDs can have a
   preferred key server for each User ID. Note also that since this is
   a URL, the key server can actually be a copy of the key retrieved
   by ftp, http, finger, etc.
