as somebody completely new to the whole idea of pgp and signing keys, but 
who may need to sign releases in the future, will there be people there to 
hand-hold newbies through the _entire_ process?  or will I need to have it 
all figured out before I show up.

Big +1. It would be great to hear a short tutorial directly from the
