Hello!

Debian based operating system ship with a software called
sendmailconfig that among other things create a SysVinit start script
of the Sendmail.conf file.

In the future, systemd will most likely stop supporting them and will
require to provide a native systemd service configuration file.

In the Debian tracker, nobody was found who can do that yet.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039365

Robert Leslie <r...@mars.org> is named in the manpage, but didn't reply
by mail for more than 5 weeks (mail didn't get bounced).
Does anybody know if he still maintains it and how to contact him?

Is anybody else here interested in changing/maintaining it?

If nobody will change it, the conclusion will most likely be that it is
going to be removed and sendmail needs to be configured without it,
like RHEL/Fedora do.
