I am not sure why that question is relevant. We may have a shortage of people who would want to maintain RefTeX, but that isn't a matter of where the repository is. Given that RefTeX has a separate repository already, I don't think there is any harm in moving it, as such. (I already said so.) However, moving it into the AUCTeX repository creates a possible specific risk. Namely, the risk that AUCTeX contributors who have not signed papers might put changes into RefTeX also. the time frame for folding AUCTeX into Emacs will probably be still years because of copyright paper reasons (we are progressing there, but not really fast). Are there any current contributors to AUCTeX who have not yet signed papers for Emacs (which would include RefTeX)?
