Pierre,

I'm new to the team, mailing list, etc. (honestly, I never had a
chance to formally introduce myself to everyone) but it looks as if
Piotr has had several instances in the past where he's had to
discipline Thomas. I doubt this is an action that Piotr took lightly.
Further, I doubt those packages will suddenly go unmaintained.

Please continue working on mailman3, it will benefit the community far
more than the outcome of this apparent disciplinary action.

Cheers,
Ian
