This sounds like a really good idea.

This way only one place would have to be updated by the user and 
keyservers would automatically refresh key data themselves.

I did suggest something like that but using WKD for Hagrid:

https://gitlab.com/hagrid-keyserver/hagrid/issues/55#note_181162712

but your suggestion Andrew is more generic (key can be put on any HTTP 
host anywhere).

Kind regards,
