Gregory Johnson, who did the rewrite of mailbox.py in the 2005 SoC,
did a very good job; the module went into 2.5 and, judging by the few
bug reports that have come in, gained some users pretty quickly.  He
also vanished after SoC was over, which is unfortunate, but not due to
anything in my mentoring (I hope!).
