The only way to get it included in MailMate is if I make it part of the 
default set (I would fork your github repo to do this). Updates would 
then require me to explicitly merge them into my fork of the repository. 
For security reasons, it cannot really be any other way.

I don't have some high bar to pass for this, but it would be nice if the 
bundle has matured a bit before being included. Historically, I have 
been very slow with merging changes/fixes to a bundle into the 
officially distributed one.

Also note that MailMate should work with Apple Intelligence. I haven't 
done much to integrate it (there is some new API in macOS 26 I believe), 
but “Writing Tools” are available both in the message view and in 
the composer. I don't know about the quality, but I'm not really in the 
habit of using it, but here's what I got after selecting the text in 
your message and using “Summarize”:

“A MailMate bundle for summarizing email bodies using a personal 
OpenAPI API KEY is available. The bundle requires Homebrew, w3m, and 
zenity, and environment variables for the API KEY and model.”

(If Apple Intelligence is better integrated in MailMate then it might 
also be possible to do it in a way where the user can configure a 
default AI engine to use. Not making any promises.)
