[arch-general] Sequoia/Octopus and Thunderbird - alternative OpenPGP support package

[Mike Cloaked]

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

https://sequoia-pgp.org/blog/2021/04/08/202103-a-new-backend-for-thunderbird/

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?
