A sftp special remote would be nice because gpg operations could be
pipelined to the network transfer, not requiring the creation of a full
file to disk with gpg before the network transmission, as it happens with
the rsync special remote.
There should be some libraries that can handle the sftp connections and
transfers. I read that even curl has support for that.
