My goal is to get stuff into whatever line of Emacs will be a permanent part of all future major release lines (not necessarily including minor or "point" releases along an already-released line). Usually trunk serves this purpose, and my assumption had been that trunk is always a safe place for a change (where as X.Y branch *might* be a safe place). But I admit, I'm not really sure how we do this. Is there policy documentation somewhere on it? I looked on the project pages and in the tree and didn't see anything obvious. (etc/CONTRIBUTE isn't quite it.) >Also, note that rather than saying "patch by X", you should make the >ChangeLog entry in X's name. Thanks for the reminder! I can fix the ChangeLogs to be that way. (It should be both of us, really; I've seen that style before.) -Karl
