[Bug 1894612] Re: feature request enable autocrypt

[arsen stasic]

Dear package maintainers,

due to the fact that WoT (Web of Trust) for OpenPGP is broken [0] since
June 2019 [1] (Daniel Kahn Gillmor (dkg)) it's a needed feature to
simplify key exchange and enabling encryption on basis of OpenPGP.

Please consider my patch.

cheers,
Arsen
