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.
