spamassassin-maint was written for Debian by Noah Meyerhans <noahm@debian.org>
Much of the content of spamassassin-maint originated with spamassassin's daily cron script, originally written by Duncan Findlay <duncf@debian.org> and subsequently modified by Noah Meyerhans <noahm@debian.org>. It was converted to a standalone program to facilitate its use outside of cron.
