[arch-general] Thunderbird 78

Thunderbird 78 is in the repos for quite some time now. Can anyone
please explain me what is the best way to use GPG now for email encryption?

I read that Archlinux aims to use the system wide gpg keyring instead of
thunderbirds builtin store. Is that still the case and is that
implemented yet? Thunderbird asks me to migrate my keys, and I am not
sure, if I should not wait a few more days. Having the private key in
multiple places is really not the best idea in my opinion.

Depending on the current state we could also add a news on the archlinux
website or at least update the wiki:

Cheers
Nico
