EasyGnuPG Improvements
Description of the project: EasyGnuPG is a shell script that wraps GPG and tries to make it more accessible and more easy to use: https://github.com/dashohoxha/egpg In order to simplify things, it is opinionated about the "right" way of using GnuPG. Here are some improvements that can be done:
Rewrite EasyGnuPG (or parts of it) so that it is built with Python and GPGME (https://www.gnupg.org/software/gpgme/)
- Implement a GUI to EasyGnuPG (maybe with Python).
- Extend EasyGnuPG with scripts/commands that automate other common usage scenarios (for example keeping the master key on a card).
- Write a Debian package for installing EasyGnuPG.
