Thunderbird development (which reflects on Seamonkey), which has been
sort of stalled for a while, seems to be reenergized. Look at this:
https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2014/11/thunderbird-reorganizes-at-2014-toronto-summit/
Among other things, there's now a roadmap for Thunderbird 38 (due next
year):
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Thunderbird38
which includes several worthy goals, such as support for large
mailboxes, finalizing maildir, support for OAuth in Gmail and such.
I expect that the Seamonkey devs will keep an eye on developments there
so they can bring some of these things to our side.
Thanks for the thumbs-up.
Pure "backend" fixes and enhancements will appear automagically on
SeaMonkey since they are in shared sources. For frontend bugfixes it
isn't as obvious: sometimes the Thunderbird guys are kind enough to fix
the SeaMonkey side too; other times SeaMonkey developers will have to
bring patches similar to Thunderbird's into their own frontend code.
Enhancements and preferences defaults have to be ported (or not) by
SeaMonkey developers since the policy decisions may be different.
Best regards,
Tony.
