Hi all, hope you all had a Happy New Year and that your are all healthy!
I am currently in the mood to discuss things here and there publicity and regarding GnuPG and the OpenPGP ecosystem I was wondering about the following. I assume the following: Werner is globally known as the author of GnuPG and it is generally accepted that GnuPG is a defacto security standard globally besides S/MIME when it comes for example to private email communications. Werner, like me and a couple of others, as some may know are no longer in their twenties so that it can be assumed, when in 10 years Google and IBM have Quantum Computers, which make our classic encryption like ECC probably useless that then people may have a problem. I assume the worst case scenario that when Werner retires and starts to enjoy life with his family and friends and let's say Andre would change his career path who carries then the torch, so to speak? Would dkg take over and do also gpg4win developement? My understanding is that sequoia pgp, due to the fact that it is written in Rust may probably see not it's light in major Linux distributions as an apt-get option, or in case Casey would decide (once Hockeypuck is finished) that he writes a Golang GnuPG that would be then distributed in major Linux distros. So, ladies and gentlemen any thoughts or insights which can be shared?
