I would see that neomutt is a good successor for mutt-patched. As
far as I understood Richard correct, neomutt includes the notmuch
feature from mutt-kz and superseded mutt-kz more or less. There will
be a git branch at neomutt where all Debian specific patches will be
incoperated and therefor both mutt and neomutt packages will be much
easier to maintain. Bugs introduced from neomutt's additional
features can be handled directly, because we don't have to maintain
a patch. We have to maintain a feature.
