I think this sounds reasonable, you can draft a UI as you're working on
the helper scripts and then polish it more towards the end.

Looks good. Yes, I'm afraid there is no straightforward way to generate
subkeys non-interactively as far as I can see --batch can only handle
one subkey during the automated creation process. 
On this topic, have a look at:

https://pythonhosted.org/python-gnupg/

In particular python-gnupg, might be a good alternative to bash.

I'll subscribe to the list, have not realized I wasn't! Thanks for
pointing it out. Cc me for the time being.
