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 would have been 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 Daniel
