I'd love to include the new BBDB 3 in GNU Elpa, or yet better GNU Emacs.
The main obstacle for this is that while large portions of the BBDB code
have been re-written pretty much from scratch, there remains the
somewhat tedious task to go over the new code and check more carefully
which portions of the old code have remained and then either get
copyright assignments for these portions or replace them by something
else.
Volunteers welcome.
Roland
