So I guess noone knows. Can someone assist me in creating a new upstream? I 
have created a new git repository with the original tarball and the 2 existing 
patches, which can be found here: https://github.com/DerDakon/genqmail

Please pick this up and move it somewhere into Gentoo git infrastructure. I 
can transfer ownership to the Github Gentoo organization if you would like. 
Afterwards I just need someone to push the button and create a new snapshot 
from that (preferably together with a git tag).

If that is done I can switch over the netqmail ebuild to use the new tarball 
so we can start to phase out the old one.

P.S.: you can find me on Freenode as Dakon if that makes things go faster
