Pantomime and GNUmail are in a sort of "nobody maintains them" state. 
Germàn put them on gna in gnustep-nonfsf and did some work on them.
I thought of trying to solve some long-standing portability bugs, but 
unfortunately some bit-rotting happened or the sources we got used were 
not the best, in any case they need some fixing on linux too.

In other words, if you have patches and ideas, just discuss them with 
us, here on the mailing list too. And test them :)

As far as I know the only "public" application using Pantomime is 
GNUmail, or am I wrong?
