Linus Torvalds has also named software after him.  There is a video
recording where he gives a talk about git that starts with:

  Hi, I'm Linus Torvalds, I name software after me.


Git means "nasty person",  "bastard".

* Asked, long ago, "Why not move to python3?"
* Did 2to3   (insteadof remaining passive)
* Is now learning what he actually started
* Is now learning the hard way that the name matters

Prevent that "getmail6" does further harm.
Either by renaming or removal.
