That looks a bit complicated for me.  Is there a choice of utilizing
--status-fd output?  That is, query a user for his passphrase only when
gpg requested (i.e. we see NEED_PASSPHRASE)

Though I know that this solution involves some coding to make use of
asynchronous process, I expect that it is not so hard to implement.
