Last key-signing party I participated in, I wasn't happy with the signing-party package/caff... so I hacked together my own script to do things via KMail (unfortunately, the KDE3 version, I don't know whether it works for KMail/KDE4 in sid):

In retrospect I'm not sure whether it's actually any easier to use than caff, but I think it requires less setup (that is, if you use KMail for your e-mail).
