I strongly support John as a possible new maintainer for Emacs, possibly in a team with Eli, which I strongly support too. I maintain Org-mode since 2011 (with a lower activity in 2015 but more time in 2016). Along those years, interacting with John has always been both helpful and enjoyable. I completely trust John for moving Emacs forward into the right direction, and for supporting GNU's goal as a whole. Having discussions on what are the best ways to achieve freedom through softwares is both natural and important: varying points of view keep us vigilant on what freedom is in general, and for software users in particular. This is something I value very much, as long as it does not affect our collectively assumed goals, which are, right now, the goals of the GNU project. -- Bastien
