As a followup to my own post, I found the public keys for the following
persons on search.keyserver.net (thanks to Roger Gammans for the hint!);

Brandon Low
Solomon Peachy
Pete de Zwart
Gianno Tedesco (seems to have a broken mail-client; the signatures on
his posts are BAD, at least according to mutt/gnupg v1.0.7)
Roger Gammans

Finally a recommendation:

add

x-gpg-fingerprint: <fingerprint>
x-gpg-key: <url to your key or a keyserver>

to your mail-headers.
