To back myself up with some quotes, here's the current mutt admin 
(Brendan Cully) referring to the sidebar patch as "froofy" and 
"outside mutt's core domain": 
http://marc.info/?l=mutt-dev&m=112118994614700&w=2

Another guiding light in the mutt world (Rocco Rutte) reviewed the 
sidebar patch here 
(http://marc.info/?l=mutt-dev&m=112133798519807&w=2) and had this to 
say:

     For example, the sidebar patch available for mutt looks to work at
     first sight but there're many things just heavily broken or things
     you really don't want to stay in the code (like using snprintf()
     and strlen() to "calculate" the amount of digits of a number.)
