I am not sure is OpenPGP and GPA are using the same pool of keys (I
think they are) but if you right click the key in OpenPGP you can view
the signatures.  I can't find anyway of doing that in GPA, nor does
there appear to be any way to get GPA to refresh the keys.

So the basic steps seem to be
1. Get someone to sign your public key and email it back to you
2. Import that signed public key into OpenPGP
3. Upload your key from OpenPGP to multiple keyservers.
