Details
gpg-zip does not have a manpage, it was removed in
https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/commit/1b6d1ac97638ebc5b5ce7d863b166e9b7669bf2f
It also prints a deprecation message if you try running it: $ gpg-zip --help gpg-zip: This script is deprecated - please use gpgtar instead. Usage: gpg-zip [--help] [--version] [--encrypt] [--decrypt] [--symmetric] It's not enabled for installation, by default, and in the master branch, it's removed entirely from the sources: https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/commit/8b8ea802ca071c911158cab0203245a16a69125c Why do we override upstream's decision to have this be a no-install script? Why does our PKGBUILD do this? sed '/noinst_SCRIPTS = gpg-zip/c sbin_SCRIPTS += gpg-zip' -i tools/Makefile.in |

It appears to have been requested, indeed, in
FS#44342. But it seems funny to have added it then, given gpgtar was added in 2010; I wonder why the reporter wanted it. Admittedly it didn't get a deprecation notice until some time after the resolution of the linked ticket.
