WKD publication can only be done by (or with the cooperation of) the domain owner. Publication to keys.openpgp.org should ideally be done by the key owner because they will have to reply to a verification email in order for it to be searchable by email address. If I submitted it there without their knowledge it would only be searchable by fingerprint, which is suboptimal.
