I've asked about this on gnupg-users, and have been disabused of the
notion. I get that it's too hard to distinguish between weak keys that
are easy to generate, and strong keys that are hard to generate.

What's needed, I think, is challenge-based (as opposed to
reputation-based) proof-of-work that's very difficult to cheat. That
sounds like Bitcoin, doesn't it?
