There's really no sane way to do key management in this case.  You really want
the person who's actually originating the note to sign/encrypt it and have
Listserv distribute the signed/encrypted message.  (Think - do you really want
Listserv to have access to the person's private key? At that point, it's out of
the person's direct control, and shouldn't be considered a private key anymore)

Incidentally, pgp and gpg should be interoperable if configured correctly
(unless it's a *really* old pgp 2.6 or something).
