Sure, take a look at the thread starting here:
http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-dev/Week-of-Mon-20180702/000157.html

(The patch is not there but it's basically setting external locate
mechanism in gpgme so, except one bugfix that I also found, it would be
a one-liner).
Maybe this is actually worth trying to propose again, one argument that is
missing is the lost security by emails that are send unencrypted because
users cannot figure out how to get the pubkey of their recipients.


Sure, why not. Especially that now WKD is prevalent in e-mail clients that care about privacy (Mailpile, Enigmail...). There is additional argument in favor of WKD nowadays - WKD delivers non-flooded keys as it's the key owner that controls what's added to their key.

If you convince Mutt community that WKD is a good idea I can prepare the patch for you. As far as I remember it's very minimal and I'd be happy to work on it. Unless there is no chance that WKD will be merged. Then I don't want to waste my time :)

Nb. in the process of getting to know mutt-GnuPG integration I've seen more places that would need attention. For example the code is riddled with PKA integration code and from what I can see PKA is considered obsolete:
