I can only guess that the conversion from gmime2 to gmime3 has other errors. 
Fixing this may require to inspect all the gmime3 code (embedded between 
#define) and check gmime3 doc. IIRC, there's a migration document.

Unfortunately I cannot check as gmime2 is no longer available on Debian.

Agreed. On Debian side, nobody complained about broken signature, so the 
important part is to make sure that pan can be compiled. I think this will be 
the case once dgraef/gmime3-bugfix branch is merged.

Once this is done, I'll push a release.

All the best
