I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev
Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine.
It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity
