I haven’t investigated this any further, but do we now try to start the 
gpg-agent on every invocation of a command just to poll if we perhaps have a 
GPG agent running, and might want to use that authentication option?

I don’t think we want to do that as a simple replacement of a cheap check of an 
environment variable as we did before. There is also a long list of 
applications where just executing a program by name (without path or anything) 
is called a security problem.
