This is a serious warning that your secret keys could end up in a disk
swapfile or whatever. If you're happy to live with that risk (e.g. on a
standalone private workstation) then you can put
no-secmem-warning
in .gnupg/options to make it go away.

(I think) this means there was no signature path from your key to your
friend's key. If you are sure the key is legit, sign it, and the warning
message will go away.
