Before you trust any key, you might want to have a look at
<http://webber.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.html>

Signatures that are exportable (as opposed to "local" signatures) can 
be uploaded to the keyservers, when you upload the signed keyblock.

But please, before you engage in key signing, or trust setting, please 
check out the above URL.

This is *not* a RTFM answer, this is a friendly suggestion.
