Well, green is a shortcut on how to display the status of the signature. It came from the green frame KMail printed and it soley used to rely on that information. The idea was that gpgme tells you what it considers to be a good signature. Opinions and trust models meanwhile changed and thus we indeed need to update gpgme's suggestion.

Yay. Got it.

The problem with mnemonics based on words is that they are language dependent and only a small part of the world is fluent enough in English to spell/use them correctly. Thus anything based on ICAO spelling (Alfa, Bravo,...) is a better choice than arbitrary words from one language. Even if that meas to write down a longer string. A CRC is of course very useful.

It would be great if this feature were implemented with a mnemonic code option, with a built in checksum, as described in bip39: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki Using the same bip39 standard (and perhaps others, as alluded to in T3497) would also improve compatibility with existing crypto key storage devices (i.e. cryptocurrency wallets used as smart cards).

Tester reports that this works now.

I got feedback from the user that had the problem. It's fixed with 2.2.9 which contains your commit afaik.

Dear Andre , all , T4020 does not even well-define the symptom and I
do not agree T4020 is a duplicate of T4079 . I'd close T4020 in favor
of T4079 . Many thanks . Mirko

My idea here is to have a discussed reference how the GnuPG community thinks a signature might be counted. Taking the discussions from our AutomatedEncryption stuff into account etc.
I would then like to extend gpg-error with the according strings / status codes.

Hi Mirko,

This was a misunderstanding. Import is possible. The german translation of Kleopatra wrongly indicated an error because it translated "unknown certificates" as "ungültige Zertifikate".

Nothing special at all. Using sysvinit, not systemd.
Ran gpg and gpa as a regular user a few times. Then, after logging out, I found those processes still running.

There should be only one instance of gpg-agent running per GNUPGHOME directory (i.e per user). Is this a systemd system where you started gpg-agent in supervised mode (e.g. Debian) or a regular system. What is special in your setup?
