This is isn't a Gentoo project and firmware that isn't included in linux-firmware is packaged separately. An analogue to linux-firmare with openpgp keys is sec-keys/openpgp-keys-kde (not included in ::gentoo yet) which packages https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/release-keyring where all the keys of the KDE release managers keys are uploaded to. As in its not a Gentoo developer invented grouping but following how upstream handles it.
