Looks git mirror is up to date:

I think there are 2 separate issues:

(1) Gnus now picks signing keys from "From:" header by default. Which is
    an incompatible behavior change from the previous versions.

(2) mml2015-epg-find-usable-key, a function used to determine whether a
    key is usable for signing, has a bug.

I fixed (2) as r102771 and you are talking about (1).

Well, probably you could first try the patch for (2) and then propose
improvement ideas for (1) I think :-)
