Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
OpenKeychain is no longer actively maintained. Eventually it would make sense to move to another PGP implementation (preferably library based) such as gopenpgp.
Android Pass Store is doing something similar
Other than refactoring existing code, the biggest hurdle would be the effort required to create a GUI for the lost features provided by OpenKeychain

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing OpenKeychain integration and comparing its lost features with a library such as GOpenPGP; define the required GUI and migration scope before implementation. Done would mean an agreed replacement and coverage for the displaced features.
