Development state
-----------------

Since several months, the official maintainers Nicolas Sebrecht and Sebatian
Spaeth are too much busy to actively contribute to this project.

In order to preserve contributions, a team of official maintainers have been
promoted to have write access to the official repository at `OfflineIMAP`_.

maintainers. All the documentation links might not be up-to-date to reflect
this change.

The best place to get the latest news about the development state is at the
mailing list.
