Can uw-imap be replaced with something else, or should someone pick

There has not been an upstream release since 2007 - the maintainer Mark
Crispin sadly died in 2012, and nobody else has formed an upstream
around it.
In my view it makes sense to drop it from Fedora 35+ and take the pain
of disabling functionality until the various upstreams switch to
alternatives. Hopefully Remi can comment on alternatives.
Since uw-imap does not install in Fedora 34 even, and nobody takes care
of it, it has been scheduled for early retirement, see
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10013 -- I guess if we are to preserve it
in Fedora 34, somebody needs to take action.
I believe the best course of action is to take over the package and keep
libc-client, but remove uw-imap.
PHP maintainers seemed to have been relying on Fedora maintenance:
https://github.com/uw-imap/imap
and have a related discussion:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78572
How crucial is the libc-client? Probably other distributions have the
same problem so some collaboration may be possible.
