when you say "key generation is not really Netpgp-related" i'm not sure
what you mean.  netpgp has a function netpgp_generate_key(), for
example, which sounds relevant.

I think the active maintainers are the pep folks, in particular Edouard
Tisserant, whose e-mail address you can glean from the hg logs over at:

  https://letsencrypt.pep.foundation/dev/repos/netpgp-et

I don't know how Edouard prefers to see contributions submitted, but he
ought to respond at least by e-mail. (i've also bcc'ed him here in case
he's not yet reading the autocrypt list)

If you can't find an easy way to contribute (or you find mercurial
frustrating to deal with) i'm publishing a git mirror of pep's mercurial
repo over at https://gitlab.com/dkg/netpgp-et -- so if you'd prefer to
just file merge requests there that's an option too.  (i used
git-remote-hg to make this clone)

happy hacking,
