Description

related to T8291: Okular: Wrong fingerprint is shown for OpenPGP certificates.

The data shown in Okular's certificate viewer is geared towards S/MIME certificates only:

An OpenPGP certificate does not have an issuer and no Organisation and no CN (instead it has a name). "Subject" would be User-ID.

Instead of only changing some words and leaving others off, we might possibly want to do a redesign.
