pinentry.el has been removed from Emacs since version 26.1:

commit 8a73b7003e5db5a57550270602841d9ee2194cf5
Author: Daiki Ueno <ueno <at> gnu.org>

    Remove pinentry.el

    * lisp/epg.el (epg--start): Remove the use of pinentry.el.
    * lisp/net/pinentry.el: Remove (bug#27445).

I therefore don't think this feature request is applicable any longer, and I'm
closing the report.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
