sympa-4_1-branch is still using the old template system, yes?  One of
the important things to us is tweaking the interface to match our main
site and I'd rather do this work on the new system.  There's also some
work needed on the English message translations - they're OK but (not
wanting to offend anyone :->) obviously not written by a native English
speaker.  I can put some effort towards this but again it would seem to
make sense to work on the new structure.
