Mark has been a postmaster for years and is currently maintaining GNU Mailman, both as a project and as a service on mpo.  Abhilash maintains the GNU Mailman 3 branch, has been project leader since I retired in that role back in 2017, and also maintains the Mailman 3 instance on mail.python.org.

As I rarely dabble in the email package these days, and RDM --who did a fantastic job of implementing the new APIs and features in email for Python 3— has also scaled back his involvement, it means that the email package doesn’t get much attention these days.  Both Mark and Abhilash have an interest in helping to maintain the email package moving forward, and both are eminently qualified to do so.

I've sprinted with them at many Pycons, until I scaled back my involvement with Mailman.  Both are here sprinting at Pycon 2019.
