You may check out also the new Mailvelope Key Server:

https://keys.mailvelope.com/

And don't forget keybase is growing fast:

Stats
Keys: 2,020,113
Humans: 405,032
Teams: 68,144

And finally individuals can run their own WKD instance.

You guys need a lot of brainstorming IMHO on how to improve the SKS
infrastructure to get back users. Maybe it would be a good idea to
get the hockeypuck author on board, because it is written in Golang
and I assume that there are more Golang programmers available to help
you guys out, compared to OCaml programmers.
