I fear the issue is who the "right people" are. Apparently, the only 
one working on GNUMail lately is me.

Also I do not believe these are "bugs" just different expected 
behaviour or even feature requests.
If you find moving messages by drag&drop cumbersome (and I admit the 
target selection is, especially on GNUstep, but I do not know what the 
issue is and I think it is partly GNUstep's fault) just use the 
context menu on a message, a simple right click, and a menu with the 
action appears with move options. This is quite similar to what other 
Mailers do.
I also used the Holiday season to code new actions in said Menu. Since 
they work fine on Mac but have glitches on GNUstep, I did not 
advertise them yet.

Furthermore, it is Holiday season for most of the Christian part of 
the World and also others usually enjoy the Christmas derived 
season... so even if there were other developers working avidly, I bet 
they would busy.

Just in the case, you may check for a "Christmas commit" on GNUMail :)

Lately I did a lot of code cleanup and imporvoed certain Charset 
encoding issues which might help some obscure bugs you were 
experiencing, at least, they did for me.
