I hope not. Is this really going to be released as getmail-6?


Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has python2 support until 2023.  Additionally, compiling
python2 is easy.  Installing getmail is literally "python setup.py install".


I understood that getmail for Python>=3.7 is being worked on and that the docs
and website are the major blockers.
