Sorry for the delay in getting back on this, but I emailed everyone at least twice, and allowed ample response time. At the bottom this mail are two small patches for email addresses which are outright broken, or simply don't exist anymore. I emailed Jay Belanger twice (on 17/3/2008 and 31/3/2008) and got no answer, I know that he is active on this list. So Jay, please drop me a line if you read this. The maintainers of the following files would be happy to receive bug reports via the bug tracking system, once it's up and running: artist.el calc-misc.el viper*.el ediff*.el vhdl-mode.el vera-mode.el verilog-mode.el The maintainer of ps-mode.el said: "Yes, sure. But only if those e-mails have a link to the bug report system, where I can cancel these e-mails if I want to." The maintainer of cmacexp.el said: "I do not use cmacexp.el any more, but yes, I would like to receive bug reports. However, I would prefer not to be the only responsible person for those bugs." 2008-04-12 Yoni Rabkin * hilit19.el: Abandoned file, changed the maintainer to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org * simple.el: Abandoned file, changed the maintainer to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org --=-=-= Content-Type: text/x-diff Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hilit19-maintainer-address-change.patch Index: hilit19.el =================================================================== RCS file: /sources/emacs/emacs/lisp/obsolete/hilit19.el,v retrieving revision 1.19 diff -u -r1.19 hilit19.el --- hilit19.el 11 Apr 2008 07:44:47 -0000 1.19 +++ hilit19.el 12 Apr 2008 16:39:25 -0000 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ ;; Copyright (C) 1993, 1994, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, ;; 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -;; Author: Jonathan Stigelman +;; Author: Jonathan Stigelman (broken email address. checked April 2008) ;; Maintainer: FSF ;; (actually no longer maintained) ;; Keywords: faces @@ -411,7 +411,7 @@ (require 'reporter) (and (y-or-n-p "Do you really want to submit a report on hilit19?
