macrostep was originally written by Jonathan Oddie, at
https://github.com/joddie/macrostep
but no longer maintained. It was forked and improved by Jonas Bernoulli
and others (inc. Stefan K.)
https://github.com/emacsorphanage/macrostep
My original request was to move the 'orphanage' repo to one of the
Savannah repos, in line with a discussion with Jonas:

The form has now been sent to Jonathan by Eli.

In another message on this list, Eli is in favour so I will continue
work on this, Emacs core rather than NonGNU.

I will start work on this.
