There is a new announcement of a drop-in replacement library for rnp in Thunderbird, that is based on code at the Sequoia project:

This would look very promising as a way to recover so much functionality that was dropped in the current Thunderbird builds for OpenPGP support. It would seem that building sequoia/octopus and using the resulting library would allow a version of Thunderbird to be built that has significantly enhanced support for integration with openPGP keyrings, and also support autcrypt.
It might be really nice if a version of Thunderbird was built for the arch repos with this library supporting encryption and signing instead of the current rnp implementation. Does anyone else think this would be a good project to work on?
I like the idea! I have not (re)enabled GPG support since the update because of varios reasons. A local keyring integration is just super important!
