Thanks for the response.

I've created issues on aiosmtpd for both these things. There are much better 
ways of running the controller than threading, but that's a discussion for 
https://github.com/aio-libs/aiosmtpd/issues/160. I'll try and work on aiosmtpd 
in the future.

Regarding smtpd, please could you respond to:

Of course, I know part of this is my wish to get my PR merged into cpython, but 
I really don't see any argument for leaving completely broken code in the 
standard library.

Surely either it should be removed before the next minor release or fixed?

I would say PureProxy could still be useful and should be left in place while 
MailmanProxy should be removed.
