The minimum version being stuck at 1.5.0 is, I believe, almost entirely due to RHEL/CentOS 7 being stuck at 1.5.3 (https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/Development/Support_library_version_tracking#libgcrypt)
It's a widely used enough distribution, still scheduled for 3 more years of support, that I think that for now the current approach of supporting it is reasonable. We do warn about it in strong terms. (The RH package may have some backports of features from later versions, but I haven't looked into it.)
If at some point we want to drop RHEL 7 (and in a similar fashion, SUSE Enterprise Server 12), there's a number of packages whose version could be bumped, as seen on that page.

Thanks for your reply, which crossed mine. Well, if it's still widely used by RHEL/CentOS 7, then there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. Matthias
