I had a tentative patch for this, but I decided not to include it.

At that time, the GnuPG developers didn't seem to have a consensus on
how TOFU is supposed to work: Neal suggested it should be triggered by a
key, while Werner suggested that it should be triggered by an email
address.

I am on Werner's side, and if the things are implemented in that way, we
don't need to handle the conflicts in such lower level (but in the MUA
level).

It doesn't sound like a good idea.  Have you considered all the cases
where epg--status-GET_LINE is called?  It is used (and works) for many
other queries.
