Hi Goffi,
I’m a bit conflicted on that.
I’m a big proponent of using Experimental as a base for people to do
experiments in (and I’m working hard to move everything that turned
out to be both useful and working to stable).
Furthermore I believe that "hybrid bridges" are something that we need
to experiment with if we want to maintain our concept of
bridges/gateways.
However as someone who has actually implemented XMPP<->PGP Encrypted
emails before I’m also seeing a lot of challenges in this particular
one and in hybrid bridges in general.

A note on the procedure on specifying this: I think it

better to first merge all of the three ProtoXEPs you proposed now in a
single Experimental XEP and see from there how it develops. The XEP can
still be split up in the same way as you did right now before moving to
Stable, but to me it feels more natural to have them all in one, as
changes to one are likely to affect the others and maybe during the
development we discover that a different way to split them makes more
sense.
I’m with Marvin on this one. How about instead of handing out 3 XEP
numbers we give you one to do your experiments in and we take it from
there. I would like to see at least one other (experimental) gateway
to proof out that this can actually be generalized.
cheers
