For those on -devel not up to speed on what is going on (such as me) the
ITP makes interesting reading.
The existing mutt maintainers have a considered plan to move to neomutt
for the existing mutt packages (at least mutt-patched and quite likely
mutt itself).
Rather than work with the existing team Elimar has persisted with
efforts to package neomutt separately and has even suggested a *different*
team is set up to maintain neomutt, versus pkg-mutt.
A fork by any other name smells just as sweet.
