DNS is for service discovery, not identity discovery and routing. I leave the rest of your questions for the standard to be developed. I don’t have all the answers, but am willing to pay people smarter than me to figure it out. Accept this sub thread as the official Request For Comments :)
You own private key. Public key is your identity. Public key could be linked to facebook, twitter, github accounts, etc, so you can easily discover or verify people.

What should it be tied to? Who would maintain the mapping of names to addresses, and wouldn’t this just be reinventing the domain name system?

Yeah! Keybase + FastMail’s open JMAP standard is the model I think you’d build on.
