While I can't say why your patches are ignored, I can say that they will not be accepted until Kevin changes his mind or we find a solution on the way towards a v2.3, see this[0] mail from two years ago. I had a very quick look at your proposed patches and my first impression was, that adding another special case for one key is not the correct approach for a patch going mainline. It's reasonable as a patch, but as a general solution I think is preferable to have an option to configure an abort key. Some people might prefer ^C to abort or some other key. Just my 2 cents after thinking for less than 5 minutes. ;) 0: http://lists.mutt.org/pipermail/mutt-dev/Week-of-Mon-20220221/001339.html
