You don't need an email. For GPG Keychain Access:

  1. Copy and paste PGP public key into text
  2. Highlight everything, including -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- and -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
  3. Right click, select "Services" -> "OpenPGP: Import Key"

That should be it. If it's not, then we're on different operating systems or something, but you shouldn't ever actually need an email. Also, when setting up your PGP, use a fake email, or one you use just for DNMs. It won't matter if it's fake.
