marcus added a comment to T2196: keydb locking can result in deadlock in 2.2.

The upgrade path problem could be alleviated by this: Add support for a new locking order to gnupg, but don't use it by default. Then, after a couple of years, activate the new locking order in the configuration, so that systems with multiple versions of gnupg installed use the same locking order as long as none of the used versions is too old.

marcus added a comment to T2195: keyring: cache consistency problem.

As long as the cache of the reader is short-lived, I don't see a problem. The operation started before the writer, so it can use the old data to finish. Any other policy could lead to other problems (for example, a long sequence of writers could starve a reader that tries to refresh due to cache stealness). So, IMO, only if you keep long-running gpg/gpgsm processes around (maybe in --server mode?) you could have a problem.

Valodim added a comment to T3203: gpg chokes on empty UserId.

Isn't it much nicer if we semantically convey that a key doesn't have associated user id information, compared to just listing such keys between "Andre" and "Arnold"? I'd much rather special case the empty string in the key list than an arbitrary string that may or may not have a universally obvious meaning.

Valodim added a comment to T3203: gpg chokes on empty UserId.

I think "anonymous" user ids are a valid use case, since openpgp doesn't allow "no" user ids. Disallowing zero-length user ids will just cause implementations that intend to use anonymous user ids to use another type of "empty", like a single space character. And the effect of that will be that it's no longer trivially defined what an "anonymous" user id is for special handling, e.g. showing a localized "anonymous key" placeholder. Please don't restrict zero-length user ids.

Valodim added a comment to T3277: decrypting data symmetrically doesn't reliably convey confidentiality property.

Well, yes, it's not general authentication like AE provides, didn't think this through entirely. However, handing encrypted data to gnupg and then not being sure if it was actually decrypted with a passphrase makes even the confidentiality property questionable.
