Yes and no.. One issue is it depends on context, which differs, for
generating a new TPK everything is easy to document, but from there
things gets curious for how to adjust existing key material.

The main issue is security can't be solved technically, it is ultimately
requires social interaction and proper procedures / policy (if you
haven't seen the movie Crimson Tide, now is the time to do so, it is the
only movie I'm aware of that is singularly about proper security procedure)

E.g  --quick-add-key can be easily used to generate a new signing subkey
from a default generated key, but why not just do an addkey in
interactive mode?

Quite frankly I'd expect a Gentoo Developer to be able to manage the gpg
interface.
