You shouldn't need a fedora account then, you can leave this for later.

Ways of getting what?  If you don't need to edit the wiki or provide other 
contributions (like packages, documentation) you don't need to do anything with 
gpg at all.  To test and post to the list you don't need to bother with that.

I have no idea which obstacles you've run into here.  Cannot get into IRC channels?

I'll try to answer any questions asked, but for many things like how to get on 
IRC there are numerous pages out there on the web that explain it well already. 
  Try reading http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IRC/ or http://freenode.net/faq.shtml

Spending time to write an overview of that seems like mostly duplicate effort.
