Hello, any progress on this?

This package would be needed not only as a replacement for the
vulnerable libemail-address-perl, but also for a new versions of
existing libemail-*-perl packages, either directly or transitionally.

E.g. New version of Email::Stuffer now depends on newer version of the
Email::MIME which now needs Email::Address::XS. All is needed because of
bugs which were fixed in Email::Stuffer and Email::MIME.
