It is good if GnuPG were to be used as crypto backend
(though there is RNP which also plans to support v5 AFAIK).
The important part is to integrate the pubkey management
and the trust display into the user interface
to make end to end cryptography usable.

Like that a search for the pubkey including trying WKD automatically if an 
email address is entered. And a display if for a recipient a pubkey is found
and at which "confidence".

Best,
Bernhard
