I've checked the facts.
If you've replied to the maintainer, why there hasn't been a CC to the ITP
bug ?
The two mails the maintainer sent you were unanswered.
I wonder why there's no date in your quote of the reply to the maintainer.
When it has been submitted ?
Gerrit should have updated his page[1] by now if the response was on time.
And which is *the* *right* place to send the email when there is no response
to a Debian developer from one of the Debian teams for over two months ?
The comment on the technical issues you've pointed I leave to the maintainer.
As for your opinion whether Qmail should be included in Debian, its security
support and it technical state, I would only quote from the ITP:
"Whether or not it's [Qmail] a good MTA, the fact is that it's a *popular*
MTA. That alone should be a good reason to package it."
Or may be you think e.g. tux-racer [2] is far more important software for
Debian.

[2] My apologies to the authors of tux-racer. I do not want to offend them
in any way. :-)
Cheers
