I have always assumed 'GNU' pass is more of a colloquial term - possibly because 'pass' rarely results in meaningful results when searching the web, as does 'passwordstore' (although at least it does point to the actual repository. I seem to recall a few years ago googling 'password store' would not even return that on the first page).

As far as I am aware there is zero relation to GNU projects, aside from pass requiring GPG. I believe the author of pass is the same fellow who wrote wireguard.
