It would be nice if somebody took active maintainership of this module. 
Quanah is present on this scene (Amavis + SpamAssassin) for a long time,
so I'd be happy with the proposed.

As this is an Apache project, changes would still need to be documented
in the Bugzilla, subject to lazy consensus, and CLA needs to be observed.

In my opinion the more extensive changes should only be applied to the
trunk. The 3.4 branch has a couple of important fixes now, so I think
it should be released as 3,4.2 sooner rather than later, with no further
extensive changes, just essential minimalistic bug fixes.

As for Mail::SPF in trunk, the old Mail::SPF::Query (last updated 2006-02)
usage can now be ripped out - in favor of Mail::SPF, which itself hasn't
seen an update for the last two years (2013-07).
