Hullo folks,

Wonder if I could try implementing parallel package signature checks? On some old systems with large upgrades it'd spend over a minute just checking signatures. Would be a nice qol upgrade imo, is this worth taking a stab at?

The main blocker for this is whether the library used for PGP checks (gpgme) is multithreading safe.  I believe there has been recent progress, and this is now something that can be considered. Allan
