 Due to concerns which I've pointed out in
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5463#comment:11 #5463],
 we should assess the effort needed to replace BridgeDB's use of the
 python-gpgme module with [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gnupg python-gnupg]
 (full disclosure: I wrote and maintain it). I'm recommending the one I
 maintain because I've auditted most of the GnuPG Python module/wrappers
 out there and they are all ''terrible''. If someone else knows of another
 one which doesn't completely suck, feel free to use that instead.

 Before starting work on this, someone should assess the effort required so
 that we can decide if it's worth it to go through with the switch.
