In many cases (such this particular one) people don't have a viable gpg
key anymore in the keyring: that means they can't email
changes@db.debian.org to update their LDAP details (theoretically, they
might still know the LDAP password and do it from there, but in practice
all the people who reach that point already forgot it).

So there is really a very technical issue to overcome for your proposal.
