I'm pretty sure that the main problem with procmail is that its upstream is
quite dead. The proper solution might be simply a fork of procmail by someone
who is willing to accept and apply distros' patches. This would be completely
independent of distributions... or could be similar to Fedora (or a Fedora
maintainer) starting up tigervnc. The problem with this approach would be
getting enough momentum behind it and having distributions recognize such a
fork.
I was myself interested in pushing a patch (unfortunately it's still unfinished
:-/) to procmail's upstream, but had trouble finding the upstream. If anyone
has had better luck or knows of a fork like I describe above, I'd be
interested. Of course, knowing that there is an upstream to submit such a patch
to would be a great encouragement for me to finish writing it. ;-)
