Well, they're also doing something non-standard with their WKD
retrieval, so maybe that changed? GPG itself will refuse to retrieve a
key that doesn't have the email address specified in the key itself:

$ gpg --locate-keys toke@...nel.org
gpg: key 4A55C497F744F705: no valid user IDs
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1
gpg: error retrieving 'toke@...nel.org' via WKD: No fingerprint

Given that they do it this way, I suppose this will affect every
@kernel.org address that has a PGP key attached (of which there are
currently 519, according to pgpkeys.git)...
