A friend pointed me to the site https://gpg.fail and asked me what I 
thought of it. At first I didn't think much of it, but on closer 
inspection it seems there may be some legitimate issues in need of 
addressing.

See, e.g., https://gpg.fail/detached . I've been able to verify the 
bottom line claim here, although I haven't verified their diagnosis.

Others, such as https://gpg.fail/noverify, do not seem to be of 
particular concern. (Point blank: if in 2025 you're using GnuPG at the 
command line for anything except certificate management, please stop. 
Parsing GnuPG's command line output is notoriously difficult. Use GPGME 
with language bindings of your choice.)
