People might be more inclined to sign the key when it says something like adrelanos (Whonix signing key) <adrelanos at riseup dot net> rather than without the comment. That way, their signature might mean: Yes, this is that key that signs that Linux distribution called Whonix. The UID conveys a bit more information about which adrelanos specifically we're talking here. That said, the whole problem with establishing a pseudonym and even getting signatures on such a key is difficult. With proper, real names, and most importantly people you can meet face to face, it's reasonably established how it works. But with a pseudonym, it's completely different. So I'm just wildly spouting random suggestions actually. It's not really well thought through, but I wanted to point out this possibility.
