Anonymity is a very important point when one likes to communicate securely
and anonymously!

For that purpose Anonymous Remailers with a Nym account are in service
for many years. It requires on the users side that he / she is familiar
with GPG, to create a Nym account.

The Remailer Software itself (Mixmaster) is included in Linux distributions.
Windows users have Mixmaster clients too. One only needs a free Usenet
account to pick up messages from the News Group alt.anonymous.messages.

Then there are probably still free anonymous Tor email accounts available.

Another option would be to set-up an email to Bitmessage Gateway (like
Mailchuck) so that GPG users can submit their keys from within the Bitmessage
client to the key server via the email Gateway.

The other points you have mentioned, like the signer cannot upload a key,
well that's true but I wonder how you guys like then to solve the problem
with uploading flooded key material to the key servers. I think you can
not have all options, but I am all ears.
