gpg_fetch_userid function only pulls first 5 user ids from keyservers
the gpg_fetch_userid function, which is used to fetch keys for a given user id from the keyservers, currently only retrieves the first 5 matching keys. This is noted as a problem in #1046 (closed), where a flood of the keyservers could be used as a DOS attack.
The fetch is done with gpg --search. If we can script this interaction a little better, we should be able to read the first line of stdout from the gpg --search to determine the number of matching keys found, and fetch all of them. Any ideas how to manage this kind of interaction in bash?
