Hello Daiki,
I'm afraid I don't understand your suggestion...

What exactly looks complicated to you?

I don't understand this point -- with the proposed patch the user
already only gets queried for the passphrase when gpg needs it -- or
am I missing something?
While I can imagine that a solution utilizing --status-fd might be
more elegant, I don't see how this could improve usability (and I
would expect it to be rather more than less complicated).
Can you please explain what behavior you would expect from pgg, maybe
with an example?
Thanks
