I looked into the history and found out how it happened by mistake.
At commit
https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6/commit/75734e022836d27c854fff34e3de36988cf4f213
blurb() had the same information, so it was redundant.
But later blurb() was moved without reinstantiating the notice in the docstring.

Done.

So, it seems you have access to my fork.
Why don't you pull?
It has always been a pull request.

I maintain this fork for Python 3 support
until you have time to pull in Python 3 support.
