The software would still be GPL2+. Only when we use the new one
it will be GPL3+.

As long as you keep my copyright and add yours its fine for me
(I worked some time to get this working).

Offtopic:
Did you open a new issue number to reference the old number?
I was able to see threading in notmuch but not in my actual
email client.

Ontopic:
I continued working on this in a version which only applies to
my work. A friend reported to me that there are issues with
one or two of the 3 possible runtime modes which should be
fixed.

Offtopic:
I've had some patches open waiting for months (after 3 months
I stopped counting), so for now I only submit what's necessary
and still (freshly) applies.
FYI, the vim-build-system is working just fine and
I'm integrating it in my part of the software already. It just
seems like we have no people at all interested (or with time
on their hands) to review Vim related code.
This is no critique on work done by mostly volunteers, but we
could do better. It's not criticism because I have no constructive
ideas how it could be managed better.
