My immediate reaction would be that (i) it would fit into "Security,
Safety, and Hacking" (and if you think it might not, then maybe we
should add "Crypto" or "Cryptography" to the track title?), and (ii) you
should consider having a DebCamp sprint about this for hacking (and not
just presenting).
Whether or not we can/will accept a larger amount of GnuPG (but not
necessarily Debian) related talks will be up to the content team as a
whole.
But also be aware that same as last year, ad-hoc sessions will be
possible.
