GPGME does certainly have problems. Many of its problems are with using
GPG2.

However by dropping GPGME we'll inherit those same problems. If there's
a developer here who wants to take this on, I'd support you in your
effort and we'd use your code in seahorse (eventually once stable).

But sadly, I personally don't have time to get into building another GPG
interface just now.
