Great script! Can you create a regular Github repo for it, so package managers can access it more easily? Thanks!

Indeed! If you go the extra mile you may want to use autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.mbsyncrc set filetype=mbsyncrc in ftpdetect and might as well setlocal commentstring=#\ %s in ftplugin.

Also, check out my fork to see what the default vint linter has to say:

• explicit namespace for v:version
• stripped trailing whitespaces
• switched to single quotes

I've taken the liberty of creating the plugin based on the fork by @LEI: https://github.com/chunkhang/vim-mbsync
