1.7.0 was released a couple days ago, and i just uploaded it to debian
unstable, along with a fair bit of debian packaging cleanup.
The source package i uploaded currently only builds the C library. It
does not build or attempt to ship the python, common-lisp, c++, or qt
bindings yet.

I plan to work in experimental for a version that will produce the
python3 bindings -- binary package python3-pyme in particular. I'm not
yet aiming to "hijack" the 2.x bindings with this source package, since
i haven't heard from Arnaud.
Arnaud, at some point we should let the gpgme1.0 source package take
over the python-pyme binary package, though, since i understand that it
is now python2-compatible upstream. I haven't heard back from you here,
but given that the transition has happened upstream, i hope it will be
OK. Would you like to help out with this? I'd be happy to have your
input and experience on the python bits (and elsewhere if you're
willing).
If someone wants to collaborate on doing the same kind of work for qt
and c++, i'm happy to coordinate via the pkg-gnupg-maint git repo,
and/or on IRC #debian-gnupg on oftc.
