Now, that's interesting. I had a look again and it seems a branch was 
created for Gnome 3,
but there are just a lot of translations.

On the other hand, the devs have repeatedly stated that they've got 
seahorse-plugins building
against GTK 3:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/seahorse-
plugins/commit/?id=17f60f9087970b4b0084cebe1367330bdd5eb634

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-keyring-
list/2010-October/msg00002.html


And Gentoo seem to have successfully built seahorse-plugins for Gnome 3:

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-
crypt/seahorse/seahorse-3.0.2.ebuild

As fas as the security vulnerability is concerned, you're of course 
right in the strictest sense of the word.
No system is going to be immediately susceptible to attack because 
there's no seahorse-plugins in the repos.
But an increase in the number of unsigned and unauthenticated files 
being handled can clearly be no good
security. And with no seahorse-plugins and easy right click, that's what 
we're looking at.  Precious few
have heard of gpg and bothered to master the command line.
