    Richard, there is little to worry about. If you recall, MH-E now uses
    the Emacs CVS repository. So CVS Emacs already has an alpha of MH-E 8.0
    (aka 7.85).

In that case, we would like to have the final MH-E 8 before the Emacs
release.

    For a ballpark estimate, we're looking at about a month or so.

We surely won't make the release within a month.

    For MH-E, it's working out wonderfully.

I am surprised.  Normally this results in making either the doc string
or the manual strained.
