It's not obvious from the readme, how does key exchange work?

Once your key is generated you can click the 'copy' icon to the right of your name in the header. After that you can share the key on any platform you like, including Keybase.io :)
keybase.io... right. I've been waiting for an invite letter for a year.

Please stop referring to non publicly open platforms as they were actually usable.

There is keys.gnupg.net, pool.sks-keyservers.net, pgp.mit.edu, etc. These are the well-known ones that had been around for a while.

What's your username? I have a couple invites.

Should note that I never use the thing since in practice it's easier to fetch my key via traditional methods, a la pgp.mit.edu...

If you ask on /r/keybase you should get an invite pretty quickly, or check to see if there are any people offering invites. Currently I see at least 39 available.
How does it integrate into the web of trust?
