Perhaps there is not much interest because it is somewhat 'hidden'? IMHO mod_pop3 would gain more visibility and therefore perhaps a better community when folded into httpd. Imagine windoze users: they mostly rely on binary distributions and up to now there are just the sources around. If mod_pop3 gets used more widely, there probably will be also more developers who will be attracted to contribute.
If this module become actively maintained for the purpose of making a pop3 server, I am pretty sure that would not fit within the scope of the charter (I don't have an internet connection handy to check the actual charter though...)
Leaving it in it's own repo-module as it is now, without any person in charge of it, will let it die on the long run.
It's already been stated on this and other lists that the code as-is has been useful. -aaron
