GPG support? (like SSH)

Would it be possible to add similar support for GPG keys?

After having the pleasure of using 1Password's SSH agent, I am also very excited about the possibility of using my GnuPG keys with 1Password and a https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Agent-Protocol.html#Agent-Protocol. SSH is nice, but I value GnuPG's sub keys support greatly.

  • I generally manage my identity with GnuPG keys, not SSH keys.
  • It's already been mentioned, but key servers for verification is great.
    • The ability to publish and revoke these keys.
  • Being able to create distinct sub keys allows me to avoid using a master key.
    • I can sign for things using dedicated signing keys.
    • I can encrypt things using dedicated encryption keys.

From what I understand, if you wanted any of this without GnuPG you would have to use certificates and certificate authorities.
