My goal for 2025 is to rewrite Woof! to make it more useful and using
it for Org is a great opportunity for that.

See https://github.com/bzg/woof?tab=readme-ov-file#planning-a-rewrite

Yes, this is annoying. It may happen when Woof! processes an email
that trigger an error and leave the whole application in an unstable
state (without crashing though).

It is on top of my priorities to make Woof! more stable. 

For personal reasons, I'm not yet in a position to set a deadline for
this, but it's clearly in my mind.

Woof! is now hosted on https://github.com/bzg/woof only - it was
confusing to host it on several places.

HTH,
