One answer to both of these is the same: right now, the focus on this
mailing list is on the imapmove working group, to get the IMAP MOVE
spec done.  It's up to the chairs how much other discussion they want
to have on the list, and so far they've allowed discussion of these
other topics, but neither of these specs is going to move toward
standardization at this point.

After the imapmove working group's work is done, we can consider doing
another fast chartering job if there's enough interest in pursuing one
or both of these.  You may certainly keep the drafts alive in the
meantime.  Just be aware that the ADs are not going to be putting them
through the standards process until imapmove is done, at least.
