Overall it seems to be cleanly written, organized and well documetned
code. Upstream is not very active. 111 git commits between
2017.12-2018.10 and nothing since then. It is maintained in debian
testing and unstable though.
Security team ACK for promoting libmail-authenticationresults-perl to
main.
