I wasn't so happy with the script's Python API, and was holding off on the final submission to avoid casting the old way in stone. But I finally had some time over the last two weekends to convert to what I think is a more sensible system [1]. (I also improved the test coverage considerably.) Feedback would be very welcome, especially from people who have tried out the old Python API. I am even willing to personally help people adapt to the new API, as it would help me verify that real-life customizations are now indeed easier. (Ævar, any news?) This week I want to convert $WORK to the new version; after that I would feel comfortable submitting to Git contrib. (By the way, the changes don't affect how the script can be configured via "git config" settings, or its backwards compatibility with post-receive-email. The improvements are all to the Python API.) I have a logistical question: git-multimail doesn't have its own mailing list, and GitHub doesn't offer one. I was thinking about setting up a Google group, but a few people at GitMerge suggested that I instead direct discussion of git-multimail to the main Git mailing list. I would slightly prefer that, but I would first like to make sure that the extra traffic (probably not much) would be welcome on the Git mailing list.
