This is an "unsubstantiated claim". I havent seen anything to indicate that would happen, and in contrast, I've seen plenty of evidence that this would NOT usually happen. Specific evidence: we have had "important" packages languishing as orphaned, for months (if not YEARS), and no single maintainer has stepped up to take them over (never mind "two other maintainers" that you claim :-D ) >> Did you want to make that commitment, to follow through on the >> research, AND rebuild mutt if research justifies it (by a specific >> date)?

Okay, your mutt packages will be in the next batch.
