That's correct. I've done something similar to Minisign. Handling that sort of problem is way beyond what one person can manage anyway. I'm only a student and not even a computer science student.
The recommended way of sharing keys is via social media, GitHub, your website, etc. Unfortunately, Keybase has now been abandoned and was acquired by Zoom, so that's not worth using anymore. However, I don't personally see how this method of sharing is that problematic. I think it does the job sufficiently.
There are no timestamps for signing or encryption, but as you mentioned, you could use the comment functionality to add a timestamp for signatures.
A new standard format would be ideal, but that's probably not going to happen for a long time. I'm also disappointed by the stance on signatures, although there are several other things that are wrong with age, which is why I decided to make my own tool, not that it's perfect by any means either. I like to think I did a much better job documenting things though.

- rodolphoarruda 5y agoCould you please provide evidence on Keybase "abandonment" by Zoom? I'm asking because I'm a heavy user and have always been concerned about a possible sunset for the product.

- FabHK 5y agoWow. That is astonishing and disheartening. I had high hopes for Keybase.
- rodolphoarruda 5y agoThanks for sharing the link, even though it gives me such a bad feeling. I really like Keybase. An important part of my workflow relies on it. So... oh shit.
