I plan to refactor the code used for GnuPG in the Message mode of
Emacs (Gnus) and started a discussion on the Gnus devel mailing list

removed in the future.
I'd like to move pretty much all password caching outside Emacs so I'm
fine with such plans. Do your plans include mail-source-password-cache
too?
No, I was just referring to GnuPG passphrases.
For example, in my system Gnus's mail-sources variable is set to fetch
mail from a server. The password is stored in ~/.authinfo.gpg but then
stored in mail-source-password-cache variable:
(("server:login:nil" . "password"))
I'd like to get rid of that too.
I wasn?t aware of this, and I don?t like that either.
Best wishes
