Is there an official maintainer or head-honcho for the mac-carbon port
of emacs? While I love having a carbon version of emacs, there are
some things that make it not quite feel mac-like.
I'd like to help out and make some improvements, but I'm not sure
where to start. Pointers would help.

It's under development I think, and Stallman & C. are working on it.

I assume the "& C." is this list. I was hoping for something more
specific. I'm not wanting to take a "wait and see" attitude. I'm
wanting to figure out how to become part of the specific "& C." that
are actually working on it.
Since RMS participates on this list I won't speak for him. However, I
would suspect the non-free-ness of the Carbon/Aqua API/framework would
prevent him from actively working on it.

I'm the current "official" maintainer of the Mac Carbon port. At least
I'm the one currently listed in the MAINTAINERS file for the MacOS
port.
What in particular do you feel makes it "not-mac-like?" The difficult
thing in the carbon port is to strike a balance between emacs-like
features and Mac-like features when they come into conflict. One
example I'm currently wrestling with is the font dialog: it is modeless
palette on the Mac, but is a modal dialog inside Emacs
