------------------------------------

We could do that, yeah.  If you've got a minute, you're welcome to update the CHANGES file and/or the release notes yourself, too.  (You needn't send a patch; feel free to just commit directly.)

> It's not very secure having the password provided on the command-line.
> A more secure method is to read the password from a file descriptor, c.f. the
> GPG --passphrase-fd option. Or at least support reading the password from stdin.
