Totally agree. Discussion about this was ongoing at
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10 and also at
#debian-mentors. I will be uploading offlineimap (python3 version) to
experimental for more testing.
And, if upstream does not have any specific concern for
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10#issuecomment-712683745
then I will either close this ITP or reuse this for something else.
