Status of the project

[NightTsarina]

Hi,

I am one of the maintainers of the Debian packaging for postfix_exporter, and I noticed there has been no movement in this project for a number of years. I wonder if you are planning to resume work on this project, or if it should be considered abandoned. I see @Hsn723 has a fork with recent activity, maybe we should start following that repo instead?

Thanks.

Thank you for the mention.

Just to clarify, I am maintaining my fork of postfix_exporter mostly for work purposes.
As such, I tend to prioritize maintenance on functionalities that are directly relevant to our needs (we are using the exporter in a kubernetes environment).
Therefore, while I will gladly look at pull requests and consider issues regarding functionalities we don't use, systemd for instance, those may receive less priority over my other work responsibilities.
FWIW, we are planning to keep using postfix_exporter for the foreseable future, and I plan to keep pushing new releases as part of our regular update and vulnerability response policies.

@NightTsarina I have just hit https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1055326 and found https://github.com/Hsn723/postfix_exporter which might be a new candidate for Debian (systemd support is kind of required now).
