Yes, I'm replying to this old thread. See it in the list archives. And, since then, doesn't look much has changed. Old pgp keys are still gathering dust, in everyone's rpm databases.

I had nothing else to do this lazy Sunday afternoon, so I finally decided to do something about it. This cleaned up over 40 old PGP keys from one of my laptop:

You inspired me to do:

https://github.com/xsuchy/fedora-upgrade/commit/ 138fa54b62c633c6435a86eaf53b0ed44ae48fe5

Although I chosen to remove only enumerated keys.

Yeah, so:

1) Someone has to remember to do this as part of every release

2) This doesn't do anything about add-on repositories' keys

3) I had pgp keys going all the way to F19, etc…

My approach is slightly awkward -- having to manually parse the conf files and perform release and arch substitution. But it has the advantage of pretty much figuring everything out. It also did me a favor and found some old conf files on one of my servers, that ages ago I used – my dim recollection – to do an upgrade from a throwaway local repo, and so the repo conf referenced keys that did not exist. It was nice to clean that up.
