Who assigns the keyid?  Is that derived from my public key?
If so, who do I find out what my keyid is?
For that matter, how do I find out what my public key is so I can post it
somewhere?

Could you show me where?  Here is your signature.  I can't discern where th=
e keyid=20
is (yes, I know you also had your keyid elsewhere in your email, but not ev=
eryone=20
does that).
