Hey fabio, Im actually thinking about doing some work on gecko/firefox on the w3c web crypto standards (spearheaded by david dahl), as soon as I find the time.
Openpgp.js would probably profit from that. It would be great to be able to work fulltime on that. Do you think that this would be something to consider getting funding for?
