I may be corrected, but I think all you need is to remember the
passphrase of the key you want to revoke. See i.e.

In my opinion that would be helpful. People using GPG/PGP should then be
able to locate your public key on the keyserver and import it to the own
keyring for verification. And of course, the recommended way to publish
your public key is to put in on the keyserver.
