This is a feature lot of us need, because if you use a smartcard-like hardware solution (Yubikey, Nitrokey, any PGP smartcard…) that’s the only solution (since you cannot import your private key into Thunderbird). Thunderbird calls this the “external GnuPG feature”: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards

It's not only required for hardware private key keeping, also for opting to use GnuPG for managing private keys, which is what I'm hoping to use.
