Is there any chance someone will rewrite Spambayes to use python3? In
Debian, it's hanging on by a thread, as they move from python2 to
python3.
I'll take a look, but I know nothing about packaging stuff for Debian.
Can you put me in touch with someone who can help in that regard? At a
bare minimum, I would want to know exactly what files are in the
existing package and if there is a set of patches the Debian folks
apply when packaging SpamBayes.

Researching your question, I was surprised to learn that there is now a
package page for the latest "stable" release of the OS. The one name on
that page is Hugo Lefeuvre; it contains a link to his email. Under
"External Resources" is a link to /_your_/ Github page, so this would
seem to be a good fit for you.

Debian had been far behind, and I was using the directions for
python-stdeb ( https://pypi.org/project/stdeb/ ) to build my own
packages from the archives that you had created. It looks like Debian
has caught up in that regard, but their package for "Buster" still
requires python2; i.e. no python3 development. I use the next release,
"Bullseye", and python2 packages are being removed at every turn.

I hope this is the information for which you were looking. Anything you
can do to help would be great.
Thanks,
Dale
