Comment (by leonardo.schenkel@…):

 From a strictly maintainer perspective, naturally I would prefer to
 maintain just a single port instead of two. I see little reason for both
 to exist since `neomutt` is a strict superset of `mutt` — and in distros
 such as Debian the 'regular' `mutt` package is also heavily patched as
 well (and some of these patches were taken from NeoMutt).

 In case we go ahead with this plan, is there a way we could make one port
 an alias for the other? I try searching but I couldn't figure out how to
 do that. Should `mutt` be an alias to `neomutt` or vice-versa? What are
 your thoughts?
