I have often seen mention of (but not personally used) CA - Fire and
Forget (CAFF)
<http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/caff.1.html>

       "CA Fire and Forget is a script that helps you in keysigning.  It takes
       a list of keyids on the command line, fetches them from a keyserver and
       calls GnuPG so that you can sign it.  It then mails each key to all its
       email addresses - only including the one UID that we send to in each
       mail, pruned from all but self sigs and sigs done by you.  The mailed
       key is encrypted with itself as a means to verify that key belongs to
       the recipient."
