That's great, thanks for the pointer.
I read in the commit message the following:
As this upstream is in active development and the original procmail on
sourceforge is defunct, we may wish to consider merging or replacing
mail/procmail with this port at some point.
I have a few thoughts. This does not appear to be a fork. It looks like a
new version hosted on Github. The author updated the copyright and I looked
at older READMEs from pre-2001 and the author's email is the same as
today, srb [@] cuci[.]nl. I have not sent an email to this email address,
but the MX SMTP greeting is quite similar to the username of the entity who
is checking in the new updates: "ESMTP Postfix (Cubic Circle/BuGless)".
Is the reasoning behind calling this a fork and not a new version because
the identity of the entity checking in updates on the Github repo cannot be
confirmed?
