The 23.3 release will be mostly bugfixes, so significant new features will not be considered. However, updated "stable" versions of exsiting modes and packages should be acceptable. (One set of changes that I think would be good to backport are the improvements to VC since emacs-23 was branched. However, this is complicated by the fact that the Lisp files have been moved into a vc/ directory in the trunk, so I'm not sure how to go about merging them. Does anyone have a suggestion?)
