No, we do not.

As I thought Kevin had explained very well, only whomever
does the package creation and push upstream needs a GPG key.
That would not be a beginning documentation contributor.
Myself, I think such a task would fall to a documentation
committer, at the appropriate point in the cycle.

couple new contributors and have them walk through the
getting started process and see how things go."

Yes, that should be the next step. Any volunteers?
Note that it doesn't have to even be real for keeps edits
that are made for the test drive, as we can just reject and
delete the final resulting merge proposal. While I haven't
deleted them yet, that is what I did yesterday, see [1]
(I'll leave the test branches there for at least a few
days).
