I was saying that submitting it to Emacs core was the right approach.
:-)

For instance, when a user clicks on a "verify this signed article"
button in Gnus/rmail, the key should be downloaded from a key server
automatically, and if I understand your package correctly, it allows
doing so?

But for this to work seamlessly, your package has to be in Emacs core,
otherwise Gnus/rmail can't rely on it as easily.
