According to your emails back in 2019 about this, you had at least one
message that had a single line that was 11MB.

I am a LITTLE confused by this sentiment.  You want nmh to do nothing, but
you wrote a patch for it?

I can understand the sentiment that we should report this behavior, but
it seems like we're alone in not dealing with it.

I want to clarify that it wasn't really denied, at least in my view;
I explained that I didn't do it earlier this year for reasons in
my personal life.  Back in 2022 what seemed to happen was that the
discussion kind of petered out with both sides assuming the other side
was doing something.  I think part of it was that there was a bug in
your original patch and it got fixed but it seemed like it needed some
more testing and at least I forgot about it.
