Unrelated, but just for reduction of the severity, Gentoo applies
depending on what the user wants, ~22 patches.[1]

As one of the persons responsible for rebasing the patches, I have mixed
feelings.  On the one hand, I know it's a mess, and probably fixing that
would make it easier to figure out how to forward port a patch this
time, however, it would mean having to fix all patches (ok, we do have
quite some).  Is it worth the hassle?

If Mutt's maintainers feel this is useful, I'll forward port our patches
without complaining, but I don't think I'll be voting in favour of
performing these cleanups.
