The hardest part of using PGP, key management, doesn't scale well in large organizations. We solved this problem at First Look Media (where there are over 200 PGP users) with GPG Sync. We maintain a keylist, and everyone subscribes to it, so everyone has the latest public key for everyone else.
I'm excited to announce that we've submitted a draft RFC that will turn GPG Sync into an internet standard!

GPG Sync is a program you install on your computer and can subscribe to keylists. It calls out to `gpg` to import all of the keys on your keylists on a regular basis.
I'm excited about keylists being an internet standard so that OpenPGP software that doesn't use GnuPG can support it too, like OpenKeychain on Android, or Mailvelope, or anything built on the new Sequoia-PGP rust library.
Also, it'd be awesome if GPG Tools, Enigmail, etc. allowed you to subscribe to keylists directly.
