Hello haomiao,

the best and easiest approach is to migrate that feature code to the
"next" branch here:

https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/-/tree/next

and file a merge request. Existing changes on that branch can be
reviewed here:

https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail/-/blob/next/NEWS#L76

Patches should also be created against the "next" branch in Git.

Looking forward to your submission.

Regards,
Matthias
