I don't think that's even necessary anymore as pacman will prompt to install missing keys

Indeed, pacman automatically attempts to download missing keys from our Web Key Directory (WKD). There were some issues with the WKD that prevented it from working as expected [1,2], but these have been resolved today. Therefore we should hopefully see less support requests regarding new packager keys as these should be now be downloaded automatically again without the need to manually install the new keyring first.
