You're right, my mistake.

This was developed as part of an university project to work on
Cryptography in Email clients for Emacs. So the idea would be that this
would make it easier to find keys when sending or receiving a message
(we also developed an autocrypt[0] and openpgp.org client[1], but didn't
get around to officially submitting the latter anywhere).

The only "problem" would be, if it were admitted into ELPA, it would
require some more code to integrate it into various mail clients, as [0]
and [1] do.
