The instructions say to:

"Email the key users (use the email address that was part of the key's
user ID) and attach the corresponding signature file - or - send their
signed key to the key server:"

Sending the keys to the keyserver is probably easier for everyone
involved and OK to do.

------------------------

After everybody uploads the signed keys you will want to see those
signature on your key.  The "gpg --list-sigs" command shows all the
signatures and keys in your keyring.  To see just your key use:

"gpg --list-sigs <key ID or email address>"

To get your key updated with all the new signatures people have been
adding:

gpg --refresh-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
