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.

I don't know of any discussions in this direction.
Earlier this afternoon, I was thinking of a file at
/.well-known/contacts that would consist of lines like:
<PATH><WHITESPACE><EMAIL>
Where PATH is a path segment, below which the contact in this line
applies, unless there is a more specific path match. So:
/ admin@my.site
/~bob "Bob" <bob@my.site>
/~alice alice@my.site
/~alice/cat "Alice's Cat" <alices_cat@my.site>
This would be easily machine parsable, and you could add a "contact"
button in the client that opens an email compose program for any given
page.
But I also remembered "humans.txt", which is more freeform and perhaps
more humane.
