I am wondering, with the Mozilla org ditching Thunderbird, if SeaMonkey
actually has a future.

Mozilla is not ditching Thunderbird, it's being maintained and getting
one major release per year, roughly (coinciding with the ESRs), where
new features developed by the community are being shipped to the mass of
users. Security releases come in between.
The only thing Mozilla really isn't doing any more is paying developers
to actually develop more new features. Some people are still being paid
for doing the needed maintenance work and integrating new features
developed by the community.

And SeaMonkey is completely maintained and developed by the community.
Yes, that also means that if you want anything to happen in that suite,
you probably have to try to dig in and learn how to do patches yourself.
That said, don't be shy, try it, the team is quite friendly and willing
to help you find your orientation!

Thanks for the clarification, Robert.  Good to hear.
