We decided that it was time to fix the remaining issues and merge that
to master (https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2264).

Yes.  Aiui a release is imminent, maybe in the next week or so.

Yes please.

I don't know the details, but Ben did some work porting the pyme
bindings to Python3 well before my time, so we thought it was best to
pick that up.  Also, the pyme way should be easier to maintain,
because functionality added to gpgme should become available without
touching the bindings in most cases.

Cheers,
