FWIW there has been discussion among those of us who regularly dip our toes in
the OpenSSL support code to add some form of integration with vaults (like
vault from Hashicorp, ipa/idm from Redhat, Keychain from Apple etc) for storing
secrets.  AFAIK there are no concrete patches to look at (yet?), but there is
interest and it will most likely be discussed at PGConf.dev in case you are
thinking of attending.
