I am glad for your contribution, Sebastian, but it is still troublesome if
the code is not GPL. I hope you do not mind me saying that. It is just a
matter of fact, nothing personal at all! ;-)

We have had a similar situation with php-mode. A lot of contributors and we
could not get every one to sign their contributions. It took me a long time
to try to get the people to sign and in the end I simply gave up. My
conclusion was that I could have been writing a much php-mode in much less
time than I used trying to fix this. However after this I did not find time
to do it any more.

And I do not have time to contribute now. Not even to discus, really. ;-)

I write this to you just to tell you that it is not a small problem. My
best wishes otherwise, and again thanks for contributing!
