I don't plan to maintain the upstream code, no. However I believe that
the package is simple enough that it won't require much upstream
maintenance (if at all).

The package seems to work. I need this package as a dependency of Tuleap
(http://tuleap.net). Tuleap is a forge (like sourceforge and fusionforge)
so it's a huge beast and it will take a lot of time until the packages are
ready for Debian. But I'm creating Debian packages for Tuleap to be hosted
on pkg.tuleap.net until then.
I'd appreciate if php-mail-mbox could be integrated in Debian already, but
if you don't want to take care of it, it's not a big problem.
Cheers,
