I mean, I agree that "FSF" is not really right OK, that was my main point. The FSF is the copyright holder for Emacs, yes, but it does not maintain it. Also it seems better to use a real (list) email address, since IME people try to mail it sometimes. > In many/most cases "FSF" really meant "there's no maintainer".

Not sure I agree, but I certainly would not object to adding something about a Maintainer being wanted in some cases (but not all). But then interested people should contact... emacs-devel.
