I renamed this to bbdb-canonicalize-mail-function which is more in line with the naming conventions both of emacs in general and the new BBDB in particular. > Is this done in some new way these days?

A fix would be > trivial, but if BBDB 2.x is dead, it may not be worth doing.) I have not tested bbdb-canonicalize-mail-function myself. So I do not know whether it is actually working.

I believe this was some kind of add-on for BBDB. So it is probably broken right now. Again, if you can get it going again you might make more people happy. To merge such things into the new repo, it would be best if we can get not only your copyright assignment but also from the original author(s) / contributors of bbdb-expire. (See my other email on copyright.)
