A key that does not have a direct mapping to a human being could be
something like 'postmaster'.  There are humans somewhere there, just
not a direct mapping to one of them.

Even so, there are non-humans in the WoT right now, and have been for
quite a while.  Even back as far as 1994, there was the SLED signing
service.
