Thanks for highlighting the repo!

I too had heard development had stopped and misconstrued that to mean all development.

Now I'm wondering if there are any issues I might be able to help fix. I still use Thunderbird so if I can help keep it alive, I'd like to.

As parent pointed out, most of the alternatives are worse.

No problem. I think everyone got out their pitchforks without reading Mozilla's announcement and looking at the repo.

There are always issues to help out on. Here's a bit more info on contributing [0]. I imagine it won't change much as the project is officially handed off to the community. It's largely led by the community anyways at this point.
