Let's CC its maintainer / other people who've actively contributed to it. I've taken the liberty to do that. It seems to me that the state is that we're on the 1.5.0 release, and upstream hasn't cut a new release. The upstream maintainer(s) are active contributors to git, so the risk of this becoming stale seems low. Having written a system in the past that made use of git-multimail.py (and sourced it from git.git's copy) I'd think a better direction would be to keep this and modify githooks(5) to actively recommend it over the older and less featureful post-receive-email script. Sure, people can also just get it from github, but to the extent that we ship any sample/default hooks at all let's start with the one that we'd recommend using against in favor of git_multimail.py for anything new.
