Christian was kind enough to explain on #gentoo-infra that the gpg public key information required in the SecureMail[1] tab should be obtained by running:

gpg --export --armor $user@gentoo.org

Please add this information to that page so others can benefit from it too.

In some cases that will lead to a fairly large key.
# gpg --export-options export-minimal,no-export-attributes --armour --export $EMAIL

Will give you a much more usable fragment.
