(I'm not sure if this should have been sent to macports-users, but I
suppose that the audience that knows how to build ports from a Git
checkout of the ports tree overlaps more with this list.)
I am the maintaner of the NeoMutt port. The latest upstream release has
some big changes, the most important two being that they moved away from
autotools and started using autosetup, and that the binary is now called
'neomutt' in order to allow it to coexist with 'mutt'.
I have an open PR [1] in which I made the necessary changes to build
with autosetup. Since we don't have a 'mutt' port (it got removed due to
the lack of maintainer), and in the interest of preserving the existing
behaviour, I also introduced a +mutt variant (enabled by default) which
installs a symlink so you can still invoke neomutt as 'mutt'.

Because of the large number of variants that this port has, it's really
impractical for me to test the binary for all the possible combinations
— and I also know from experience that Mutt/NeoMutt users are really
attached to their existing workflows and are sensitive to any
breakage... :-) So if you're one of the users of this port, I would
appreciate if you could check out this branch, manually build the port
with your favorite combination of variants, and verify if everything
still works as you expect and let me know (either here or by commenting
on the PR) if there are any regressions.
I will also welcome any comments you might have about the PR, in case
you have a moment to spare to review it.
The plan is not to release this specific version to users (it's marked
as "devel" by upstream), but the next official version. This is the
preparation work, so when the next official release is published I will
simply add a new commit to bump the version and then merge the whole PR.
