Actually upstreams supports packages for CentOS 6, so roundcube should run 
also under jessie and upstream really cares about having stable releases. It 
is not a fast moving target, that makes it really hard to taggle done in 
backports.

More user - more found issues - sure, that's why we would really appriciate 
it, if the team would grow. At the moment the most work is done by Vincent and 
me. So a third member would really increase the team capabilities :D

Happy to hear your outcome.
