You are correct.  This part of GPGME is quite incomplete (if you look into
gpgme/import.c, you will see that the status handler is just a dummy).

Same problem for export, delete, and partially for genkey.  That requires
more work, I am not sure if gpg is providing the necessary information.  If
it does, it will be quite easy to fill this in, if it doesn't, it needs to
be fixed first.

Thanks,
Marcus
