and what do you expect as further action?
If you want to complain about the removal you need to address this to 
MZLNA. Debian is packaging what upstream is providing, some things might 
need some adjustment to be in compliance with the Debian project rules. 
But at least for Thunderbird and similar packages we do not re-add and 
maintain features we can't keep up to date in the long run.

Following the bug report you pointed it's obvious that the user base is 
simply to small that it will come back in the near future.

I see no work I or Debian needs to do here and will close this report by 
this email.
