Does it help if I also point out that they've gone one better and gpg
has the --with-colons option, to produce colon-delimited field output
specifically for scripts?  :^)

(If you have the PGP keys, you can obviously see the real addresses; I
just blocked them above to limit the spam to some lesser-spammed
addresses.)

       --with-colons
                 Print key listings delimited by colons.  Note that the output
                 will be encoded in UTF-8 regardless of any  --display-charset
                 setting.   This  format  is  useful when GnuPG is called from
                 scripts and other programs as it is  easily  machine  parsed.
                 The  details  of  this  format  are  documented  in  the file
                 doc/DETAILS, which is included in the GnuPG source  distribu-
                 tion.
