I don't know why someone has a problem with the permissions of a directory containing public keys. At least the permissions of ~ should prevent world to access the directory. From my point of view the status of this bug in Hirsute and Fedora is the way to go ...

Perms 700 prevent accessing the dir by other users, because the dir can contain private keys. However, .gnupg dir contains only a public key used in GPG verification of HP plugin, so the matter isn't that critical, but it is good to have it fixed. The patch is attached.
