 I take exception to this personally.  I try to be active but since I
 have zero elisp skills (and honestly don't want to relearn lisp again
 if I can help it), I can't contribute code to the project.

I don't mean to suggest that those of you that participate in the
viewmail-info mailing list are passive.  But there are somewhere around
600-1000 downloads of VM on the Launchpad web site.  The vast majority of
these users are passive.  Either VM is working perfectly fine for them, or
they are not interested in resolving whatever problems they face.

 I do try to evangelize.  But hey, maybe I need to put my money where
 my mouth is and learn elisp enough so I can submit patches to the
 code.  

I know that elisp skills will be quite limited in the community.  But,
perhaps, somebody can volunteer to create a release from the current trunk
and field the issues that might arise?

Cheers,
Uay

 Ahem. There is no current VM. When there's a release that works (as
 opposed to the beta from your personal repository), I'll try to
 package it!

Uday Thanks Julian!  The current VM for public purposes is 8.1.12.
Uday But, the last time I checked, the version in XEmacs is something
Uday like 8.0.5!

Why can't you just release 8.2.0b as 8.2.0?  It's not like it hasn't
been out there for ages and ages...
