Hi, I apologize if this is an often brought up subject; I just joined
the mailing list today.
I'm currently very pleased with Debian mutt. Unfortunately, Debian is
reliant on many patches, most of them are listed in the PatchList in
the mutt wiki. The Debian team is reluctant to add too many more
patches to mutt, especially intrusive ones. I don't blame them, the
upkeep can be mountainous.
My point is, what's the requirement to get some of the patches into
the main line of mutt? I'm particularly interested in the threading
and sidebar patches. I maintain my own deb for mutt installation on my
servers (to get the sidebar feature).
I don't own these patches, so it's hard for me to personally submit
them. Is there particular trouble in getting patches accepted into
vanilla mutt? Is the community particularly stringent of new features?
Thank you for your time.
