From my observation (as a non KMail developer) that is not a fact.
It might be a debateble hypothetis, but far away from a fact or a commonly
accepted truth. For me this is an important difference.
Because the conclusions to be drawn out of the result of such an analysis
would be far reaching.

AFAIK Ingo agreed that you share maintainership.
I'm a bit taken aback by the wording you've choosen to
presenting the result of your struggle to become a KMail maintainer.
I don't know in detail how KMail maintainership is assigned,
but there were certainly times when you weren't KMail maintainer
and there will be times when you have to hand this title to somebody else again.
Again I don't how this mechanism works for KDE projects and KMail in particular,
but still your KMail-(Co)Maintainership is not an eternal fact.
