If you would use your real name in your UID you could let Governikus
certify your key. Governikus is a German CA run on behalf by the BSI.

For that you will need a (certified) ID-card reader and AusweisApp2.

Regarding the other questions, it would be IMHO really nice if we
would have internationally more CAs for GnuPG users, thus one must
not rely on the classical WoT signatures.
