I definitely agree we can't use doctests exclusively. Nobody in their right
mind would ever want to read those things! A good mix of (separate file)
doctest and unittests would probably work, but I'm eager to hear how your
experiment turns out. :)

Yep. It's a great way to go. I also suggest that as things stabilize we move
to a model where branches proposed for merging are always linked to a bug.
But that might not always be feasible while there's lots of churn.

I'm thinking it does make sense to make an email6 team and keep this branch in
a separate package. I've just created the team:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~email6
and made you a co-admin. I think it's up to you to make the team the owner of
the python-email project.

That's like the logical extension of Zawinksi's law. :)
