Advice needed for a strange request about getmail vs. getmail6

[Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

To give a brief history, Debian had "getmail" which was based on
Python2 and was removed. Then there was a fork available named
"getmail6" which was based on Python3. A transitional package linked
them by #979060.

Now, the upstream of "getmail" has raised a bug in Debian asking
"getmail6" to be removed or renamed and he claims that users of
getmail6 are imposing a support burden on him as users are thinking it
to be getmail and mailing the getmail mailing list. #996569

I went through the getmail mailing list archive and could find only
one such mail. I am not sure what to reply to him, and need your
suggestions about what to do now please.
