Comment (by cal@…):
The point is that somebody needs to maintain vanilla mutt. None of the
people in this ticket who are willing to maintain neomutt want to spend
the additional effort to maintain a largely similar mutt port, especially
with the amount of patches and variants that we used to have on mutt.
Especially the various patches were always a headache to update for any
new mutt version, but that work is now done in neomutt for us.
If you volunteer to maintain the mutt port in MacPorts, I'm happy to
accept and commit a patch that restores mutt to a vanilla version. It was
just my impression that there are not that many users that use mutt
without any patches.
Note that when restoring the mutt port, you should probably port r152935
from the neomutt port, because that fixes a couple of issues with the
build reproducibility of mutt.
Also, remember that you can always re-activate an old version of the mutt
port before it was `replaced_by` neomutt if you're not willing to adjust
your configuration right now.
