By that I mean fixed in time. I agree that it does not need to be

Normal e-mail addresses are low-entropy, right?  this would suggest that
they're reversible in most cases without a lot of effort (e.g. consider
nsec3-walker, which has similar properties [0]).  how does enrolling
only the hash address the privacy considerations effectively?

I was planning to enroll the hash of the keysigning which would
include the signature at minimum.

If we are doing DSA then it isn't really a problem as the signatures
are non deterministic. You can get into issues with RSA though (but
not in this case).
