Thus I would say that the only critical point here is the first one
(manpower/responsiveness). To some extent, the second point could be a problem

We should also be mindful of the effects of what such a large project as emacs would have suddenly coming into a project with a substantially smaller community. The emacs'ers could end up taking over, even if nobody intended for that to happen.
