I'd say it was finished 10 years ago. With no need to update because it is feature complete and apparently pretty bugfree. It seems that even the last five years of compiler improvements in detecting overflows and such did not uncover flaws in procmail, which I personally think is pretty impressive.
I "love" procmail. It serves me perfectly. But it is scary that it has no devs at all! Is somebody at openSUSE patching it if needed? Are there any plans for a substitute?
