One concrete proposal for a mechanism for how to do this at the protocol
level is "First-party-attested Third-party Certifications", documented
here:

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-abuse-resistant-keystore-03#section-10

To make this feasible requires some work on the client side.  The
protocol implementation is likely to be the easy part.  The hard part is
the UI/UX work to make this something that a normal human can understand
and do without too much pain.
