(Get the code!)
Shortcut menus, aka context menus, are for quick access by advanced users to the most common operations on the selected object. The more items a context menu has, the less likely you will remember which items are available, and the less likely the menu will open in the down-and-right direction you expect, making them slower to use. And context menus should not contain submenus, for the same reasons squared.
Encrypt and Sign are not common operations, so while they should be present in the main menus (which they are), they should not be present in the context menu.
If there is a situation where the commands don't actually work, that should be reported as a separate bug. (They work for me, but my system is heavily customized.)
