I'd considered it a bug because gpg(1) says that --quiet means "Try to
be as quiet as possible", and it clearly wasn't even trying :)

OK, i get that wishlist priority means "we might not even get to it,
ever" -- does that make something not a feature request, though?  We
have a user of GnuPG (Robert J. Hansen), who clearly needed the feature
and was avoiding using GPGME because it didn't have it.  I consider that
a feature request (whether we decide to do it or not is a separate
question).

cool, thanks for these hints, and the above explanation.  this is super
useful to me.

That would be great!
