I explained in details what happened; it's non-related, but for the
curious it can be read at:

No, the devs didn't think so. They have found time in their busy
schedules, and there has recently been the new, updated maildrop
package available in Gentoo.

I recently found out about it and posted about it:
(the post is on the page already linked previously, but retitled)
Maildrop updated after a little false alarm ;-)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1027610.html#78199

It is based on the original package:
maildrop-2.8.3.tar.bz2

and only the patch:
maildrop-1.8.1-disable-fam.patch
applied, in case one wishes to disable fam (which, e.g. I didn't do).

So I'm kind of glad that my wrong assumptions have, apparently, helped
to produce a good result, the new maildrop for Gentooers.

Still, sorry again for the disruption that I caused. I hope it wasn't so
excessive.

Regards!
