(apologies for the top post...)

Thanks for the note, Hugo. I've cc'd spambayes-dev to my reply. Others
there (assuming there still are others) might have some suggestions.

SpamBayes has been dormant for quite some time, as you observed. I'm not
sure what you mean by "dead" though. I'm not sure what's to be done about
that. There are a few people who try to answer questions about it on the
main list (spamba...@python.org), but most of those questions come from
users of the Windows version.

I no longer use it myself anymore, except on the mail.python.org site. That
instance hasn't been updated in quite awhile either.

I'm not sure what an official "declare the end of the Spambayes project"
would mean. Do you want to take it over? Assuming you've been maintaining
it for Debian (I had no idea any Linux distros included it), I don't think
it would be a big deal to get you added as an official maintainer.

I'm not sure I've seen any bug reports, and like I said, I had no idea it
was included in any Linux distributions. Do you have specific bugs to
report?
