Thanks for the replies.

So, as I understand, it is something to be setup by packagers or distributors...

There are two separate things:

First is to indicate that gnome-keyring goes well with pinentry-gnome3. That would be done by making one depend on the other?

And second is to make gpg choose pinentry-gnome3 as default when running a GNOME session. I believe the pinentry-wrappers and alternatives to good approaches, if the user wishes to user another pinentry gpg-agent.conf should be used.

Our concern is to ensure that when gnome-keyring is running along with gpg in a GNOME session gnome-keyring is able to cache gpg passphrases if opted to.

Is there a mechanism for GNOME to recommend such setup up for packagers or distributors, maybe docs or something? (Does this question make sense? I don't know much about how packaging and shipping processes)
