You have hundreds of users of the software out in the real world, possibly with mission critical applications, and I would consider them first.

And we - the people who are using getmail in a mission-critical 
environment - are the ones who get buggered by people forking and *not* 
changing the name.


Fortunately, at least for my lot, we are old and nasty and use 99% of 
stuff from source, we don't trust distribution maintainers.  At all.
