Ideas for articles covering GnuGP integration
This article does not cover tools such as, , , and Windows GPG tools. Windows tools certainly do not coverage on this wiki, however it may be nice to cover the following mail clients' integration with GnuGP:

Configuring gpg-agent and pinentry
Section "Configuring gpg-agent and pinentry": Currently the example codeblock for gpg-agent lists the --no-grab option, why? https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Agent-Options.html says: --no-grab Tell the pinentry not to grab the keyboard and mouse. This option should in general not be used to avoid X-sniffing attacks.

Moving chatty content to a guide article
This article reads very much like many of the higher quality 'Guide' articles that we have floating around the wiki. I'm wanting to move much of the chatty (but nice for a relaxed read) content to a /Guide subarticle. I would revise the main article to more in-line with an Article Blueprint layout. Any objections to me doing so? Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 00:10, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Please don't. You would end up having almost all content in the subarticle leaving an almost meaningless main article like e.g. Localization or Initramfs.  However, adding references to Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media and Handbook:AMD64/Working/Features would be nice.

PGP Key Expirary
I am missing information about expirary and what to do.

Removing references to keys.gnupg.net
As far as I can tell, keys.gnupg.net has fallen completely into disrepair; the certificates it presents aren't even valid anymore. It seems borderline unsafe to still be recommending it here. Is there some other public keyserver that is canonically used by the FOSS/Gentoo community, or should we just replace that section with an exhortation to find your own? --Apetresc (talk) 12:34, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
