I have mixed feelings about applying the patch, dunno.

While discussing this on the Fediverse, I learned two things:

  1. keyserver.ubuntu.com is a reliable key server that includes user
     IDs, so it’s a good choice for ‘guix refresh’ and similar uses;

  2. keys.openpgp.org publishes users IDs if you explicitly consent to
     do so via the web interface at <https://keys.openpgp.org/upload>;
     that doesn’t help much for the ‘guix refresh’ use case though.
