I agree with David's rationale; however, it would be nice to be able
to retain an Emacs mode for editing muttrc.  Would you please contact
upstream Neomutt to see if they would be willing to adopt it?

I am willing to submit either a patch or PR, including extracting the
muttrc-mode information from the emacs-goodies-el info page—if
necessary, it is extra work after all.  Also, I would be happy to help
add the bits that would generate bin:elpa-muttrc to our src:neomutt
package.

There's also mutt-alias.el, which "allows you to lookup and insert the
expansion of mutt mail aliases".  Maybe upstream Neomutt could also
include it in a contrib subdir?

Regards,
Nicholas
