sfsexp has been in Fedora/Redhat Linuxes since mid-2022 (Fedora 36,
EPEL 9 for RHEL), maintained by yours truly, and so it will remain in
the foreseeable future. [EPEL 8 has notmuch 0,35 without sfsexp and
should not receive major upgrades.]

It is easy to build (basically `configure --disable-static` && make`).
Upstream is very quiet, but responsive when necessary. Even with
Fedora's compiler adventures (beta gcc15 and such) I never had to fix
a broken build, and the compile does not produce a single warning. The
codebase is exceptionally clean! Should be easy to maintain where it
isn't already.

Cheers
Michael
