What is it?

A list of every fork and patch for mutt.

I searched through https://github.com/ and https://bitbucket.org/ for anything called "mutt". There were over 700 matches. Many repositories were nothing to do with mutt and many more were just people's mutt config files.

The remainder, I examined to determine if there was any unique code that I should consider.

Why?

To reduce the amount of wasted time and effort for mutt developers.

Mutt development is very conservative and consequently very slow. This has driven a lot of people to fork mutt and roll their own versions.

The mutt community needs rallying around a single point and I'd like this github team to be that point.

What's Obsolete?

Many mutt patches don't have an official author/owner/maintainer. They float around the net in multiple forms. Each patch applied to our development repo will also reference a list of other patches that it obsoletes. These obsolete patches will be monitored to ensure any new development isn't missed.

This will simplify the job of future developers.
