[Cc'ing mhonarc-dev list since it is relevant]
MHonArc is distributed under the GPL, so you are free to modify and
redistribute as specified by the GPL.
I have no objections if you want to take over sustainment of mhonarc. I
have not touched it in a long time, so it will be good to have someone do
the updates need to work with later versions of Perl 5.
Source is maintained in CVS, but the repo is not publicly accessible. You
can start afresh with a new repo, but if you really need access to the CVS
repo and history, I can see about packaging it up. Been awhile since I
accessed it.

Hello,
Sympa¹ is an open source mailing list manager. It uses MHonArc to
archive mails. MHonArc has a few bugs with new Perl versions² and some
metadatas (like its version) are missing, preventing it to be
correctly installed with cpanm.
We, the Sympa community, would like to propose you to update and
maintain MHonArc. If you agree, could you please:
- add DVERDIN, NEZUMI, HORNBURG and LDIDRY as comaintainers of MHonArc
on PAUSE³
- provide us an access to MHonArc’s VCS repository if you have any
Also, we would like to maintain MHonArc on Github and use Github’s
issues tracker instead of MHonArc’s mailing list, if you don’t mind.
Would you agree with that?
Kind regards,

³ LDIDRY is me, the others are part of the Sympa community, highly
involved in Sympa.
