Well, yeah, but not sup. :)

I keep the maildir-sync branch up to date. If you want the latest
version of sup and the maildir synchronization support then use the
branch maildir-sync-next from my repository.

Other features usually get merged faster.

I think it will be merged for the next version although I didn't have
any confirmation from William yet. I don't see any reason why that
wouldn't be the case, as you said there are a lot of people interested
in this feature.

The reason why it is not merged yet is that the code has been finished
a few weeks ago and needs some more testing (even if I've been using
it for 9 months without trouble as well as other people from this
list).
