OpenPGP or CMS?

I don't understand the note.

OpenPGP!
Marcus means, we need a similar pinentry message which ask for correctness of
fingerprint of the certificate which the user want to certified (like the
pinentry if you enabled allow-mark-trusted option for S/MIME).

7 years old and meanwhile Kleopatra has been reworked. Further showing two fingerprint (for the signing and the too be signed key) is confusing. In particular because the passphrase for the signing key is usually cached.
