Hi, I made some months ago the package mutt-sidebar-nttp http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34238
I don't use it anymore and feel like it could just be deleted because there's already a lot of mutt-* packages around and it seems not so popular anyway (2 votes). I'm not sure it's worth orphaning it.
Regards, pascal
It's definitely worth keeping unless it has been superseded by something else. Don't delete packages because they are not very popular. Orphan it if you don't want to maintain it anymore. However, what bad can come from you owning it? You will probably care for it better than anybody else for the time being. Just check if it still works every 6 months or so unless you get an error report.

Well, I would have then to check the patch stuff for openssl (I saw other mutt* use a patch for it, but didn't look at it closely), and also I was modifying the nntp patch myself, because it did not play nice with the sidebar patch. It's trivial changes but I'm not sure I would be able to maintain it when/if a new release of sidebar patch or mutt come. Though, after reading your mail, I'm considering fixing the package for now. My request was coming from a lack of motivation. At least I'll give a try.
