Totally agree. Discussion about this was ongoing at https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10 and also at #debian-mentors. I will be uploading offlineimap (python3 version) to experimental for more testing. And, if upstream does not have any specific concern for https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10#issuecomment-712683745 then I will either close this ITP or reuse this for something else. -- Regards Sudip
