Won't and can't exist.  Please stop asking.

We've given the reasons many, many times.  Originally, the Thunderbird 
user interface was done using a Mozilla technology called XPCOM. 
Mozilla has since abandoned XPCOM; moving forward, all extensions have 
to be written as WebExtensions.

So all the XPCOM in Enigmail, the stuff that's accumulated over almost 
twenty years of development?  None of it works any more.

Enigmail cannot be ported to TB78.  We would have to literally start 
over rewriting the user interface in WebExtension.  The finished product 
would not be Enigmail as you've come to know it: it would be something 
completely new and different.

If you want to develop your own Enigmail successor as a WebExtension, 
knock yourself out.  But please don't call it Enigmail.  :)
