Goog afternoon,

I've read carefully your answer, and I understand it.

Nevertheless, I'm surprised that you closed the bug, as upstream did not
answer to your request for now, and also because it currently is blocking
any resolution for the following bugs:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799281
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799283
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799285
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799287
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799288
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799292

As mailman has been a well used software in Debian and a lot of people is
expecting mailman3 to come part of Debian, even if it takes some time to
find a solution, I really think there is a need for one.

I fully understand that as the main OpenStack maintainer, you'd better it
working in sid/experimental, and I don't ask you to update falcon as its
without having a fully working solution for OpenStack, but I think untill
we've found a solution, or at least, exhausted any other way of finding one,
this bug should remain open.

If there is no solution, I'll try provide a patch to zaqar, but that would
be better done by upstream. I actually don't even know if zaqar has been
tested with falcon >= 0.2 or if it is just assumed broken by these versions.

Best regards
