One thing that jumps out at me reading the readme is the fact that it has a built in email server. Email is hard to get right, and I’m surprised a relatively young(?) project is working on getting all the moving pieces together rather than declaring it out of scope.
I’m no expert but as i understood, it’s the sending part that’s tricky to get right. Lots of handshake to handle, all to probably end up in a spam folder or blocked along the way. But receiving from a publicly acknowledged address ? I think it’s fairly simple
Do You know more about the email server part? I understand +addressing but this seems to be more? Do You hand a domain over and it is actually a full MX or is it just an imap client?

It’ll be interesting to see how it develops.

Even then, there are lots of edge cases with e-mail that are easy to get wrong and might become security risks.
I‘m not saying this applies to this project, this is more of a general concern.
I would never trust a newly written email server and there is absolutely no reason not to use an already existing as a dependency to this project.
