Bug#936604: FYI: Python 3 migration of distributuion
Hi, It's a fork with a new upstream with some issues. (Not supported by the old upstream) Anyway, I switched out from getmail to other MUA. No one seems to take over this package maintenance. So please remove this package. I am not going to package the new getmail6.

Hi Osamu, given that a Py3-compatible version is now available as src:getmail6, let's go ahead and remove getmail? Cheers, Moritz
