Both GnuPG and Signal are great projects, but GnuPG has a different use case from Signal.

You should, ideally, try to fund improvements to both projects.

> [...] Signal are great projects

If I may derail this thread even further: I find XMPP+OMEMO even better. The security concept is basically identical to Signal but users don't have to rely on particular servers and a widespread adaption would end the problem that people who use different servers/clients can't talk to each other.

Also, there are great apps for XMPP. For desktop user there is Gajim[0], for Android there is conversations[1] and the apple folks have ChatSecure [2].

And a thousand more. The question is where to channel scarce resources.
