11 So I guess noone knows. Can someone assist me in creating a new upstream? I
12 have created a new git repository with the original tarball and the 2 existing
13 patches, which can be found here: https://github.com/DerDakon/genqmail

15 Please pick this up and move it somewhere into Gentoo git infrastructure. I
16 can transfer ownership to the Github Gentoo organization if you would like.
17 Afterwards I just need someone to push the button and create a new snapshot
18 from that (preferably together with a git tag).
19
20 If that is done I can switch over the netqmail ebuild to use the new tarball
21 so we can start to phase out the old one.

25 P.S.: you can find me on Freenode as Dakon if that makes things go faster
