GnuPG generates a revocation certificate when you're creating a new key, import that and it requires no interaction from you or the keyserver operator. And it works even if you've forgotten the passphrase of your GPG key. Obviously you don't want to put that file anywhere public, and if it gets compromised you can just publish the file to the keyservers yourself and generate a new key.
