Hi Sean! The Web Crypto/PKCS11 fork is intended to be merged into master. Having said this, Peter, the developer of that branch, seems to be unavailable these days and we (Crypto Stick project) don't have other capacity to work on it right now. If somebody is interested to work on merging it, we would sponsor that effort.
You know, the PKCS#11 fork enables the usage of smart cards and USB dongles with OpenPGPjs and solves the problem that users are bound to their local computer because their key is stored there locally. This is an issue many OpenPGPjs-using projects may face.
