Hi! Replying inline to what Sandro already wrote, I'm switching MUA and I'm kind of lost here :-)

Same here but we can certainly try to have it team-maintained. We have new people from time to time and maybe this is a nice package for them to work on. Eike: if you kept the versioning in some VCS, please share it with us (can be a tarball somewhere). I'll happily import it into our team's salsa instance. **Thanks** For all your work :-) -- https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk
