While I'd like to see a more inclusive patch process (I have created several over the years that I'd like to see included in mutt) I think, as others have mentioned before, that a comprehensive regression test needs to be created and included in the mutt source tree with a make target to run it. Anyone submitting a patch would be required to successfully run that test collection. And beyond that I think there needs to be a automated C-style checker to enforce consistent C code formatting. The checker could be run via a gate push hook. These things would go a long way to keeping mutt's code quality high while allowing more people to contribute. -- Will Fiveash
