FWIW, I still hope you'll eventually find the patience to get the improvements you allude to in your README applied to GNU Emacs (non-blocking Gnus especially).

Disappointing. Some impatient angry person has resorted to extorsion,
to try to extract compromises from Emacs.
I don't see what this will achieve, except for, at most, another split
akin to XEmacs?

Perhaps you are talking about text in some other page, or perhaos you stated your interpretation of the same text I saw. Would you please show me the actual text which strikes you as "extorsion" or "trying to extract compromises"?

Perhaps I chose the word 'extorsion' poorly, but if so could anyone tell me a better word for "demanding commit rights"? I think my grasp of the English language is not always as good as I think it is. Thanks.

I am also non-native english speaker, but I do not understand him as demanding
commit rights. There is irony, sarcasm and humor there, but not really a demand
for commit rights :).
