I really can not confirm this. I am running vanilla GnuPG 2.1.2 (built from 
source) on Yosemite (10.10.2 to be exact) with a Gnuk without any problems.

In any case, I agree about the part that such fixes should be developed in the 
GnuPG repo and not in basically a fork that receives less reviewing.

I suppose it might be a good idea to have a Qt GUI. That looks native enough on 
Mac so that most users won't complain, works good on X11 or Wayland based 
systems and also works well on Windows. Ideally, this would be a project under 
the GnuPG umbrella, but ideally not taking away time from core developers and 
thus be done by others. It also is not that security critical if it's just a 
GUI using the command line tool.
