Comment (by intrigeri):

 This ticket's title seems obsolete, but I cannot rename it as it's unclear
 to me what is the expected outcome of this ticket. Now that the bundles
 don't ship a HTTP proxy anymore, I see two possible goals:

 * documenting best practices regarding how to torify GnuPG, that is kill
 most of the content on
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/GnuPG and
 replace it with simpler info, thanks to the insight provided on this
 ticket.
 * improving GnuPG torification in Torbirdy's gpg.conf, and future bundles
 that may include GnuPG; e.g. should no-try-dns-srv be added there?

 It seems that the way to go is to first evaluate Torbirdy's gpg.conf wrt.
 the insight provided on this ticket, improve it if needed, and once happy,
 use it as a reference in the best practices doc. Perhaps we need two
 tickets for that, the latter being blocked by the former.
