This all seems to me like trying to add the "finger" protocol to
gemini, is not a bad idea, but in those files will be nice to add a
bit more information like gpg public keys and such.

You're not wrong about that, and it would almost make sense to just use

finger, but finger is generally keyed off of username and host, which is

typically what you're trying to find out here.

humans.txt is closer to finger than my suggestion, of course.
